Terms Used In Tennessee Code 29-16-118

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Property: includes both personal and real property. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
(b) In all cases where the right to condemn is not contested and the sole question before the jury is that of damages the property owner shall be entitled to open and close the argument before the court and jury.
(c) The time within which either party may appeal from the finding of the jury of view shall be forty-five (45) days from the date of the entry of the court’s order confirming the report of the jury of view.
