Wilson Bank & Trust v. Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County

Syllabus

In 2014, development company KW Group, LLC (\KW\) purchased a tract of land located in Rutherford County, Tennessee, from Wilson Bank & Trust (\Wilson Bank\). The land was intended for a subdivision. A previous holder of the land, Mid-Cumberland Development, Inc. (\Mid-Cumberland\), had deeded two lots out of the main tract to Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County (\CUD\) in 2011. Desiring to have a portion of the two lots re-consolidated with the primary tract, KW and Wilson Bank filed suit against CUD and Mid-Cumberland in 2016. The plaintiffs sought reformation and/or rescission of the 2011 deed conveying the lots to CUD and stated causes of action for promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. Following briefing by the parties, the trial court dismissed all of the plaintiffs' claims with prejudice. We affirm.
