Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:10

  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Secretary: means the secretary of the commission. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1

            From any rule, regulation, or general order of the secretary an aggrieved party has the right to apply for relief to any court of competent jurisdiction and to institute appropriate legal proceedings to review such rule, regulation, or general order within thirty days from the date of the issuance thereof. The enforcement of such rule, regulation, or general order may be suspended by the court, at its discretion, during the pendency of the proceedings. All such cases shall be heard summarily by the court, and all appeals from judgments rendered therein shall be preference cases and shall be given the same priority and preference as cases in which the state is a party.
