Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure 2125.1
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
When a subsequent extension of the return day is granted by the appellate court in accordance with the provisions of Article 2125, notice thereof shall be given by mail by the clerk of the trial court to counsel of record of all parties, and to parties not represented by counsel. The failure of the clerk of the trial court to mail such notice does not affect the validity of the appeal, nor does any error or defect that is not imputable to the appellant affect the validity of the appeal.
