Art. 1396 Repealed by Acts 1988, No. 515, §7, eff. Jan. 1, 1989

This rule no longer exists. Louisiana lawmakers removed it from the law back in 1988, and the repeal took effect on January 1, 1989.

If you're looking at older legal documents or case files that mention this rule, keep in mind it hasn't been active law for many years. Any legal matter you're dealing with now would fall under whatever current rules replaced it. If you need to know what governs your situation today, it's best to check the current version of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure or ask someone familiar with the present rules.
