He dismissed the County's motion for summary judgment, but left the News-Sentinel's motion for summary judgment pending.
Is he sending a message to the County? Like, for instance, "if I were you guys, I'd be talking to Rick Hollow and seeing what kind of deal I could get, because the other shoe still has to come down"?
In other words, he rejected the County's motion to resolve the case as a matter of law. He could have disposed of the News-Sentinel's motion either by granting or denying it, but chose not to do so, which is a little unusual. This could be because he wanted to give the county an opportunity to cut a deal on a losing hand, rather than having him make a ruling which might reopen all or portions of the January 31 can of worms.
I would have been shocked if the Chancellor had tossed out the suit. But then this is Knox County, where you never know what will happen.....
Did you notice that this is set for trial this month? Things will happen real quick.
This could now get interesting.
It wasn't already?
