Tennessee Supreme Court October 15, 1979 (Graves v. Sawyer)

OPINION

COOPER, Justice.

Certiorari was granted in this case to consider whether a voluntary, unconditional payment of interest on a promissory note tolls the statute of limitations to the date of payment. We hold that it does.

On April 29, 1969, respondents, Dorothy Sawyer and Murrell Goins, executed a promissory note in the amount of $2500.00 payable to Ruby Graves and Harold Graves.
