Tenn. Code Ann. § 43-38-1027

Claims procedure

Known as the Tennessee Processing Cooperative Law

The act spans §§ 43-38-1001 to 43-38-904 (150 sections).

Acts 2004, ch. 534, § 32.

(1) A person who is or who becomes a creditor or claimant before, during, or following the conclusion of dissolution proceedings, who does not file a claim or pursue a remedy in a legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding during the pendency of the dissolution proceeding, or has not initiated a legal, administrative, or arbitration proceeding before the commencement of the dissolution proceedings, and all those claiming through or under the creditor or claimant, are forever barred from suing on that claim or otherwise realizing upon or enforcing it, except as provided in this section.

(2) Within one (1) year after articles of dissolution have been filed with the secretary of state pursuant to this chapter or a dissolution order has been entered, a creditor or claimant who shows good cause for not having previously filed the claim may apply to a court in this state to allow a claim: Against the cooperative to the extent of undistributed assets; or

(3) If the undistributed assets are not sufficient to satisfy the claim, the claim may be allowed against a member to the extent of distributions in dissolution received by the member.

(4) Debts, obligations and liabilities incurred during dissolution proceedings shall be paid or provided for by the cooperative before the distribution of assets to a member. A person to whom this kind of debt, obligation, or liability is owed but is not paid may pursue any remedy against the officers, directors or members of the cooperative before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. This subsection (c) does not apply to dissolution under the supervision or order of a court.
