Plaintiff construction company should not have been allowed to file a deposition transcript related to its argument against dismissal under the TPPA after the TPPA hearing had concluded. In Kedalo Construction, LLC v. Ward, No. M2024-00224-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Nov. 26, 2024), the plaintiff construction company and the defendant store owner disagreed about construction work done by the plaintiff pursuant to a contract between the parties. The defendant created a website and Facebook page detailing her experience with the plaintiff company, and she left multiple reviews online “accusing the company of misconduct,” including the theft of tiles.
