Terms Used In Tennessee Code 30-2-611

  • 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.
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

Besides the fees allowed to the clerk for the clerk’s service, as provided in [former] § 8-21-701(28)-(30) [repealed] for taking and stating accounts, the clerk shall receive such further sum as the court of first instance or on appeal may allow, upon a confirmation of the settlement.
