Terms Used In Tennessee Code 61-3-1201
- Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
In applying and construing this chapter, consideration must be given to the need to promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact it. The rule that statutes in derogation of the common law are to be strictly construed does not apply to this chapter.
