Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure 3308

  • 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.
  • Remainder: An interest in property that takes effect in the future at a specified time or after the occurrence of some event, such as the death of a life tenant.

Only a suspensive appeal as provided in Article 2123 shall be allowed from a judgment homologating a tableau of distribution.  The appeal bond shall comply with Article 2124.

The succession representative shall retain a sum sufficient to pay the amount in dispute on appeal until a definitive judgment is rendered.  He shall distribute the remainder among the creditors whose claims have been approved and are not in dispute on appeal.
