Ally Financial v. Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security

Citations

• 530 S.W.3d 659

Syllabus

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security forfeited a finance company's interest in a vehicle after determining that the finance company failed to timely file a claim to contest the forfeiture after receiving notice. The finance company thereafter filed a petition for judicial review. The trial court reversed the forfeiture on the basis that the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security failed to prove that it sent proper notice to the finance company. We vacate the judgment of the trial court and remand for further proceedings before the administrative agency.
