Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 38:394

  • 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.

A devolutive appeal shall lie from suits tried pursuant to this Part without any additional deposit by the plaintiff, and no appeal from any suit brought under the provisions of this Part shall operate to prevent or delay the vesting of title in the plaintiff.
