Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1200.10

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • 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.

If the group self-insurance fund deems the amount of expenses billed to it unreasonable or contrary to the provisions of this Subpart, it may within fifteen days after the receipt of such billing, file a rule in a court of competent jurisdiction upon the commissioner of insurance to test the reasonableness and legality under this Subpart of the amount of expenses billed to it by the commissioner of insurance which rule shall be tried by preference, and upon appeal, shall be given preference in the appellate court, as provided by the laws of this state for other state cases.
