589 S.W.2d 661 (1979)

NELSON TRABUE, INC., Appellant-Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant, v. PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT-AUTOMOTIVE, INC., Appellee-Defendant and Counter-Claimant.

Supreme Court of Tennessee.

November 13, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stanley M. Chernau, Denney, Lackey & Chernau, Nashville, for Nelson Trabue, Inc.

David S. Zinn, Ingraham, Young & Corbett, Nashville, for Professional Management-Automotive, Inc.

OPINION

HARBISON, Justice.

Although other questions were involved in the trial court, in this Court the only issue is whether a corporate manager-employee is entitled to compensation for services for the full term of its contract even though it was discharged for cause by the employer. The Chancellor allowed recovery only through the date of discharge, but the Court of Appeals reversed and allowed recovery for the remainder of the contract term.
