Robert W. Hawley v. Billy Joe Mauldin

This appeal arises from a judgment entered by the trial court in favor of plaintiff. In his complaint, plaintiff asked the trial court to remove a cloud from the title to his property and to enjoin defendant from making certain fraudulent claims in the future. Defendant asserts that the trial court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. On review, we find that the chancery court has the authority to grant the equitable relief requested by plaintiff. The court therefore had subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. The judgment is affirmed.
