Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:4107 – §4107. New Orleans; hearing relating to drainage area
Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:4107
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
At the time and place fixed by the resolution of the sewerage and water board for the hearing said board shall meet and shall hear and consider all written objections timely filed by the owners of land in the drainage area who desire to be heard, and after such hearing the sewerage and water board may modify the plan of the drainage works or alter the boundaries of the drainage area to exclude land originally included or make any other decision with reference to the proposed drainage plan that it may deem just and equitable, or it may confirm the plan as originally prepared and the boundaries of the drainage area as originally defined. The boundaries of the drainage area may be extended to include land not originally included only with the consent of the owner of such land or pursuant to the procedure provided in La. Rev.
