2021 Tennessee Code|Title 43 - Agriculture and Horticulture|Chapter 28 - Timber|Part 3 - Branding of Timber|§ 43-28-312. Cutting Timber From Property of Another — Civil Liability

   Civil liability for the negligent cutting of timber from the property of another is in an amount double that of the current market value of the timber.   If the timber is negligently cut from the property of another because the landowner for whom the timber is being cut has marked or designated the boundary of the landowner's property incorrectly, then the landowner is jointly liable for the double damages.     Civil liability for knowingly and intentionally cutting timber from the property of another is in an amount treble that of the current market value of the timber.   Nothing in this section precludes an owner of property on which timber has been cut by another from recovering damages for loss of value other than commercial timber value, if any, of the timber negligently or intentionally cut.   “Current market value,” as used in this section, applies to the property in question that is standing timber; therefore, the current market value is that of the timber before being cut.

  With the exception of incidental commodity dealers, nonsecured, failure of a commodity dealer or warehouseman to file a bond or certificate of deposit and to keep the bond or certificate of deposit in force or to maintain assets adequate to assure payment to producers for commodities purchased from or stored for them shall be grounds for the suspension or revocation of a license issued under this chapter.   Any person who engages in business as a commodity dealer or warehouseman without securing a license, or who does not have a valid license or is in violation of this chapter or the rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter, or who impedes, obstructs, hinders, or otherwise prevents or attempts to prevent the commissioner or the commissioner's duly authorized agent in the performance of that officer's duty in connection with this chapter or its rules and regulations, or any commodity dealer or warehouseman, or any officer, agent or employee of a commodity dealer or warehouseman, who refuses to permit inspection of that person's premises, books, accounts, or records as provided in this chapter commits a Class A misdemeanor. In case of a continuing violation or violations, each day that each violation occurs constitutes a separate and distinct offense.   Any commodity dealer or warehouseman, or officer, agent, or employee of a commodity dealer or warehouseman, who withholds records, keeps or files false records or who inaccurately alters records or presents to the department any materially false records commits a Class E felony.

Any such injunction may be entered without notice and without bond.   The commissioner may prohibit a commodity dealer or warehouseman from disposing of any commodities owned, in whole or in part, or held or in that person's possession, whether owned in whole or in part, or may prohibit anyone from removing any commodities in which the commodity dealer or warehouseman or producers from which that person has purchased commodities have an interest; and shall have authority for the disposition of the commodities to carry out the intent of this chapter.
