Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 31:43

  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

A person is acting on behalf of the servitude owner only when there is a legal relationship between him and the servitude owner, such as co-ownership or agency, or when there is clear and convincing evidence that he intended to act for the servitude owner.  Silence or inaction by the servitude owner will not suffice to establish that a person is acting on behalf of the servitude owner.
