Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 47:1413

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.

            A. In all other matters regarding the conduct of its hearings, the board may prescribe and promulgate rules and regulations not inconsistent with law or the provisions of this Chapter. Upon promulgation, the rules and regulations shall be binding upon parties litigant in any cause over which the jurisdiction of this board shall extend.

            B. Rules related to the establishment of fees chargeable for filings and for services rendered by the board shall be subject to review, suspension, or veto pursuant to La. Rev. Stat. 49:966, 967, 969, and 970.

            C. The rules and regulations of the board shall be annually reviewed, and may be revised as necessary to provide relative to a prompt adjudication of cases filed against local collectors.

            D. By rule promulgated pursuant to this Section, the board may require that in any notice regarding a right to an appeal to the board, the collector shall include any certified or registered mail tracking number for the notice as well as the board’s contact information, in a form specified by the board. The failure to include this information shall not extend the time within which any party may file an appeal with the board.

            E. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the board may issue orders in the same manner as a district court in the exercise of its jurisdiction or to effectuate its jurisdiction under this Chapter. Any standing orders generally applicable to all cases, including those related to the timeliness and methods of filing, shall be published on the board’s website.
