Terms Used In Tennessee Code 56-28-105

  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Commissioner: means the commissioner of commerce and insurance. See Tennessee Code 56-1-102
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • 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
  • signed: includes a mark, the name being written near the mark and witnessed, or any other symbol or methodology executed or adopted by a party with intention to authenticate a writing or record, regardless of being witnessed. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105
(2) Bylaws;
(3) Proposed contracts between the corporation and participating hospital or hospitals showing terms under which hospital service is to be furnished to subscribers;
(4) Contracts to be issued to subscribers showing a table of the rates to be charged and the benefits to which they are entitled, showing benefits expressed in service rather than in dollars; however, with equitable arrangements to protect the interests of subscribers when it becomes impossible for the service to be provided. The contracts should make clear that the ultimate responsibility for service to subscribers rests with the member hospital or hospitals; and
(5) A statement of its financial condition and business in such form and detail as the commissioner may require, including the amounts of contribution paid for working capital, and the name or names of each contributor and the terms of the contribution, signed and sworn to by the president and secretary or other proper officers, and shall pay for the filing of the statement the sum of thirty dollars ($30.00). Contributions not paid, but agreed to be paid, may be reported as a separate item, but shall not be admitted as assets of the corporation.
