Terms Used In Tennessee Code 27-4-107
- Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
- 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.
- Prosecute: To charge someone with a crime. A prosecutor tries a criminal case on behalf of the government.
- Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
If the transcript is not filed within the time prescribed in § 27-4-104, or if the appellant shall fail to appear, or to prosecute an appeal, the judgment or decree of the county court may, in the discretion of the court, be affirmed.
