Terms Used In Tennessee Code 26-6-208
- 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.
- Foreign-country judgment: means a judgment of a court of a foreign country. See Tennessee Code 26-6-202
- Prosecute: To charge someone with a crime. A prosecutor tries a criminal case on behalf of the government.
If a party establishes that an appeal from a foreign-country judgment is pending or will be taken, the court may stay any proceedings with regard to the foreign-country judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the appellant has had sufficient time to prosecute the appeal and has failed to do so.
