Terms Used In Tennessee Code 69-5-403

  • 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.

From a decree correcting a mistake in the number of acres, either side may appeal upon the same terms and conditions and to the same courts as provided for appeal from the decree on commissioners’ reports fixing the acres assessed to each owner.
