JANINE M LAMOTHE v. DEER HILL VILLAGE HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION INC.

Syllabus

Deer Hill Village Homeowners Association (\the HOA\) appeals from the order of the Chancery Court granting summary judgment to Plaintiffs Janine M. Lamothe and Matthew T. Davenport (hereinafter \Appellees\). The underlying controversy is a request from Appellees, who own a condominium in Deer Hill Village, to inspect the HOA's corporate records pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated § 48-66-102 et seq. After subsequent filings from both parties, including multiple motions to enlarge time for discovery from the HOA, the Chancery Court granted Appellees' motion for summary judgment. The HOA timely appealed to this Court. Having determined that the Chancery Court failed to state the legal and factual grounds on which it was granting summary judgment, we vacate the order at issue and remand for entry of an order that complies with Rule 56.04 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.
