Terms Used In Tennessee Code 69-5-126

  • 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.

Any party aggrieved may appeal from the decision of the court in making or refusing to make the assessment. The appeal shall be made in the same manner and upon the same terms provided for appeals from the action of the court in creating or refusing to create a drainage district as provided in part 5 of this chapter.
