Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:4531

  • 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.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.

In all cases of appeal to the Supreme Court the party appellant shall be primarily liable for all costs occasioned by the appeal.  The party plaintiff, if appellee, shall never be called on to pay the costs unless he is condemned therefor by judgment on the appeal.
