* Waggoner Motors Inc. v. Waverly Church of Christ - 159 S.W.3d 42 (Tenn.App. 2004). An award of lost profits was affirmed after an automobile dealer’s vehicles were damaged by paint overspray from the defendant’s construction project on adjacent property.

* General Construction Contractors Association Inc. v. Greater St. Thomas Baptist Church - 107 S.W.3d 513 (Tenn.App. 2002). An award of lost profits was reversed when the plaintiff’s claim of expected profits was based on conjecture.

* Baker v. Hooper - 50 S.W.3d 463 (Tenn.App. 2001). A trial court’s refusal to award lost profits was affirmed when the plaintiff relied on tax documents showing gross profit, but did not include portions of tax returns setting forth expenses.
