Julia Browning v. Mark D. Browning

Syllabus

A creditor obtained a default judgment in general sessions court and the debtor appealed the judgment to circuit court. The debtor was not in the courtroom when the case was called in circuit court, and the court awarded the creditor a default judgment. The debtor appeals the circuit court's judgment, and we affirm based on the language of Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 27-5-106 and -107.
