Terms Used In Tennessee Code 69-5-506

  • 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.

If the appeal is from the action of the county court in establishing, or refusing to establish, the drainage or levee district, the circuit court shall enter such order as it deems just and proper in the premises, and the clerk of that court shall certify the order to the county court, which shall proceed thereafter in the matter in accordance with the order of the circuit court.
