Court of Appeals of Tennessee May 15, 1992 (Electric Power Board of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville v. Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corp.)

OPINION

CANTRELL, Judge.

The primary issue in this case is whether a municipality may, by ordinance, grant an electric utility a franchise covering the territory within the municipality served by another electric utility. The chancellor granted summary judgment to the city. We conclude that, on the issues raised in this case, the chancellor was in error.
