Save Our Fairgrounds Et Al. v. Metropolitan Government Of Nashville And Davidson County, Tennessee

Court Description:

Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Frank G. Clement, Jr.

Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Ellen H. Lyle

Appellants filed a complaint for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief against the Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County related to the city s decision to allow a soccer stadium to be built at the fairgrounds. The complaint alleged that the action violated several provisions of the city s charter intended to protect the fairgrounds for fair uses. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the city on the basis that the additional uses for the fairgrounds did not violate Metropolitan Charter section 11.602. Because the trial court s order fails to adjudicate Appellants claims that the city s action violated additional charter provisions, we dismiss this appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
