BETTS v. TOM WADE GIN


810 S.W.2d 140 (1991)

James BETTS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. TOM WADE GIN and CNA Insurance Company, Defendants-Appellees

Supreme Court of Tennessee, at Jackson.

May 6, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

T. Robert Hill, Hill, Boren, Drew & Martindale, Jackson, for plaintiff-appellant.

Richard Glassman, Glassman, Jeter, Edwards & Wade, Memphis, for defendants-appellees.


OPINION

DAUGHTREY, Justice.

The sole issue in this workers' compensation case is whether the plaintiff-appellant should be required to tender to the court the money received pursuant to a settlement agreement as a condition precedent to an order setting aside that agreement. Because we now hold that tender is not required in cases such as this, we reverse the decision of the trial court and remand the matter for further proceedings.
