Terms Used In Tennessee Code 39-11-711

  • Probable cause: A reasonable ground for belief that the offender violated a specific law.
  • Property: means anything of value, and includes any interest in property, including any benefit, privilege, claim or right with respect to anything of value, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible. See Tennessee Code 39-11-702
  • State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the several territories of the United States. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105

In the event there is probable cause to believe that any individual having a right to enter real property that is the subject of a forfeiture proceeding under this part is also engaged, or about to engage, in conduct that will result in the diminution of the value of the real property to the state, then the court in which the forfeiture is pending may grant injunctive relief enjoining any such action diminishing the value of the property, including the padlocking of the premises or the appointment of a receiver or any other appropriate extraordinary relief.
