J. Pemberton Guerry v. James Christopher Jenkins and Gail Jenkins

Syllabus

This appeal arises from an action for breach of a promissory note. After granting the plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment on his claim against one of the defendants, the court held an evidentiary hearing to determine damages. Following the hearing, the court entered a judgment for $1,628,074.27, which included interest and attorney's fees. On appeal, the defendant contends that, in accordance with the terms of the promissory note, the plaintiff is only entitled to recover the principal sum of $14,194.43 plus interest. We have determined that the defendant failed to properly raise this issue in the trial court therefore, it is waived. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's decision.
