Terms Used In Tennessee Code 48-249-805

  • Court: includes every court and judge having jurisdiction in the case. See Tennessee Code 48-202-101
  • Director: means an individual who is vested with authority as a director under §. See Tennessee Code 48-249-102
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
