Teal Properties, Inc. v. C&H Commercial Contractors, Inc.
Syllabus
Relief under Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 60.02(5) is reserved for extraordinary circumstances. Outcomes, specifically judgments, occasioned by a party's own inaction or lack of attention are not extraordinary. And a court does not abuse its discretion in denying a Rule 60.02(5) motion when a judgment results from such circumstances. So we affirm.
Judges: Judge W. Neal McBrayer
