Jodi McClay v. Airport Management Services, LLC - Dissenting
Syllabus
The Tennessee Constitution guarantees that the \right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate.\ Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-39-102 (2012) (\the damages cap statute\), which forbids awards for noneconomic damages that exceed $750,000 (or $1,000,000 in catastrophic injury cases), is an unconstitutional invasion of the right to trial by jury. Thus, it cannot stand.
Judges: Justice Sharon G. Lee
