Terms Used In Tennessee Code 9-2-111

  • County mayor: means and includes "county executive" unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

If any clerk or judge of the court of general sessions knowingly omits to charge in such clerk’s or judge’s account any sum of money for which, by law, such clerk or judge is liable to account, and swear to the statement, knowing it to be incorrect, and produce such false account to the county mayor for settlement, such clerk or judge commits perjury.
