- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.

Any party dissatisfied with the judgment of a recorder or officer of a municipal corporation charged with the trial of causes may appeal to the next circuit or special court, in all cases in which an appeal is allowed from the judgment of a judge of the court of general sessions, and subject to the same terms and restrictions.
