  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, if, without showing sufficient cause:

(1)  The claimant fails to communicate his statement of claim in accordance with La. Rev. Stat. 9:4263(A), the arbitral tribunal shall terminate the proceedings.

(2)  The respondent fails to communicate his statement of defense in accordance with La. Rev. Stat. 9:4263(A), the arbitral tribunal shall continue the proceedings without treating the failure in itself as an admission of the claimant’s allegations.
