Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 4:224

  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.

Except as otherwise provided by this Section, the commission’s hearings, practice and procedure, and rule making procedure are as provided in the Administrative Procedure Act.  However, in cases made the subject of judicial review, the court may not extend or continue beyond ten days from date of issuance any stay order or temporary restraining order issued by it, except:

(1)  upon agreement of counsel for all parties, or

(2)  absent such agreement, by order of the court, but only after a contradictory hearing held no later than the tenth day following the issuance of such stay order or temporary restraining order and then only upon a showing by a party that a denial of such extension or continuation would be prejudicial to that party’s opportunity to cause the court to affirm, modify, or reverse the decision to be reviewed.

Acts 1989, No. 628, §2.
