Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 40:1577
- 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.
When an order is made by one of the deputies or representatives of the fire marshal, the owner or occupant of the building or premises may, within three days, appeal to the fire marshal. The fire marshal shall, within five days, review the order and advise the owner or occupant of his decision thereon. The owner or occupant may, within five days after the making or affirming of any such order of the fire marshal, file an application with the board of review as provided in La. Rev. Stat. 40:1578.1 in accordance with the regulations promulgated for application by that board, praying for a review of the order or such other relief as is provided by law. The board of review shall render its decision within five calendar days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, of the review of the order. If, and only if, the order of the fire marshal is not appealable to the fire marshal board of review under La. Rev. Stat. 40:1578.1, within the time period set forth in this Section, the owner or occupant may file his petition with the district court of the district in which the premises or building affected by the orders is situated, praying for a review of the order or such other relief as is provided by law.
