Tennessee courts and clerks’ offices remain open and operational at this time. However, all in-court hearings (with very limited exceptions) have been cancelled beginning on March 13, 2020 through at least April 30, 2020. All filing deadlines that are set to expire between March 13, 2020 and May 5, 2020 are extended to May 6, 2020. All bankruptcy hearings are continuing as previously scheduled, but are being held telephonically in all three districts. Tennessee has state-specific moratoriums in place with regard to default servicing such as foreclosures and eviction cases, and is limiting courts’ and clerks’ furtherance of collection actions. Per Supreme Court Order No. ADM2020-00428 (March 25, 2020), “No judge, clerk, or other court official shall take any action to effectuate an eviction, ejectment, or other displacement from a residence between March 13, 2020 and April 30, 2020…Judges also are encouraged to work with court clerks and local law enforcement to develop policies severely limiting or eliminating any new garnishments during this time.” Tennessee law firms must also adhere to the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums that have been set by the federal government.
