Detinue Case Appeal Process

Summary

If your detinue case was dismissed and the judge mentioned circuit court, you may need to appeal. In Tennessee, appeals from lower courts go to the circuit court and may involve a de novo review. The appeal process includes filing a Notice of Appeal, submitting the appellate record, filing briefs, and possibly presenting oral arguments. Alternatively, you could file a new case if it involves a different cause of action. Consult a lawyer to understand your options and the best course of action.
