Turner v. Terry

Summary

The court held that the trial court properly admitted evidence of the parties' prior discussions because the defendants alleged fraudulent inducement, but erred in refusing to enforce the promissory notes because the defendants failed to prove fraud. It further held that Turner was entitled to all contractual attorney's fees, while affirming the trial court's discretionary award of the pledged stock as an adequate remedy. The judgment was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for an award of attorney's fees against Terry, Henderson, and Evans.
