A Tennessee Order of Continuance is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Tennessee. It is used to temporarily suspend the proceedings of a legal case, thereby allowing the parties involved to reach a settlement agreement or other resolution without the need for a full trial. There are two types of Tennessee Order of Continuance: a temporary order of continuance and a permanent order of continuance. A temporary order of continuance can be granted for a specific period of time, while a permanent order of continuance remains in effect until the court decides to terminate it or the parties come to a settlement agreement. In either case, the order of continuance suspends the proceedings of the legal case and allows the parties to reach an amicable resolution.
