Court Reviews the Admissibility of Evidence in a Suit to Recover the Balance on a Past Due Account

BELLSOUTH ADVERTISING & PUBLISHING CORP. v. SENTAYEHU ABEBE, ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. April 29, 2011)


This appeal arises out of a suit to recover the balance on a past due account for an advertisement in a telephone directory. Defendant disputed the authenticity and admissibility of the documents submitted by plaintiff to establish an enforceable and valid contract. The trial court permitted the documents to be admitted and entered judgment for plaintiff. Defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in admitting the documents and in finding an enforceable contract. Finding no error, we affirm.
