Tennessee Supersedes is a legal process that allows a party to a lawsuit to suspend the enforcement of an order, judgment, or decree of the court until an appeal is decided. This process can be used by a party to prevent the other from executing or enforcing the court's order until the appeal is decided. There are two types of Tennessee Supersedes: a Supersedes bond and a stay of execution. A Supersedes bond is a surety bond issued to guarantee that the appealing party will pay any judgment or award that may be due to the other party in the event that the appeal is unsuccessful. A stay of execution is a court order that temporarily suspends the enforcement of the judgment until the appeal is decided.
