Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 41:11

  • 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.
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.

As soon as an application for an appeal is made to the commissioner he shall deliver to the party applying for the appeal a certified transcript or copy of all the proceedings had in his office relative to the conflicting claims.  The party shall forthwith file the transcript in the office of the clerk of the parish in which the land is situated and give security for costs as in ordinary cases, and the matter shall be tried by the court de novo.
