Terms Used In Tennessee Code 29-6-136

  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Person: includes a corporation, firm, company or association. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105

If, after the service upon any person of a copy of the bill, or levy of the attachment at law upon debts or effects in such person’s hands, any person should pay the debt, or secrete the effects, or purchase in any other claim against the defendant, that person shall be liable to the same extent as before the payment, secreting, or purchase.
