Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:4781
- 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.
- 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.
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
Police juries may pass ordinances providing for the regulation, supervision, and control of tourist courts or tourist camps and provide penalties of fine, imprisonment, or both, for violating the ordinances. Police juries may suppress tourist courts or tourist camps whenever they have evidence submitted that the tourist camps or tourist courts are being conducted in a disorderly manner or for immoral purposes. The procedure for suppression shall be by injunction brought for the purpose of prohibiting the continued operation of the camps or courts. The injunction proceedings shall be instituted in the district court of the parish in which the camp or court sought to be enjoined is located. The present rules of practice and the rules of law in force relative to the issuance of injunctions shall apply, with the right of appeal to the proper appellate court being granted to either the police jury or to the owner of the camp or court involved.
