Art. 4905 Notice of judgment in parish or city courts

When a judge makes a final decision in a parish or city court case, the parties involved have to be told about it. This notice works the same way as it does in other Louisiana courts under Article 1913.

In practice, this means the court or the winning party sends written notice to let everyone know a judgment has been signed. This notice matters because it starts the clock on important deadlines, like the time you have to ask for a new trial or file an appeal. If you don't get proper notice, you could lose your chance to challenge a decision you disagree with.

If you're involved in a case in parish or city court, pay close attention to any notice you receive about a judgment. Mark the date you got it, because that date affects how much time you have to take further legal action.
