Barry D. Smith v. Tamara Yvette Smith - Dissenting

Case Number
M2005-01688-COA-R3-CV

I respectfully dissent from the majority’s conclusion that Dr. Victor A. Pestrak’s report was properly admitted and that this Court’s interpretation of Rule 706 of the Tennessee Rules of Evidence in Dover v. Dover, 821 S.W.2d 593, 595 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1991), is too rigid. I submit that the majority's decision ignores the strict requirements of Rule 706 and opens the door for abuse of that rule.
