Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 2:16

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

If no appeal is taken from the order of the departments within the period fixed, the party against whom the order was entered shall have waived the right to have the reasonableness or lawfulness of the order reviewed by any court, and there shall be no trial of that issue in court in which suit may be instituted for the penalty for failure to comply with the order.
