Sam B. Crenshaw v. Saad Kado.

Syllabus

This appeal concerns a foreclosure sale of the plaintiff's property. The defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiff's action alleging, in part, that the action violated the statute of limitations. In response, the plaintiff alleged that his action was timely due to equitable estoppel. The Trial Court granted the defendants' motions and dismissed all of the plaintiff's claims against the defendants. Taking the facts alleged in the plaintiff's complaint as true, the plaintiff pled sufficient facts in his complaint to support a claim of equitable estoppel for purposes of the statute of limitations. Therefore, we hold that the Trial Court erred by granting the defendants' motions to dismiss filed pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 12.02(6).
