A Louisiana Petition for Trial De Novo is a legal request made to the court to review a case originally decided by a lower court. It is a civil remedy that allows a party to dispute the decision of a lower court. There are two types of Louisiana Petition for Trial De Novo: Petition for Trial De Novo in a Civil District Court and Petition for Trial De Novo in a Parish Court. In a Petition for Trial De Novo in a Civil District Court, a party can appeal a decision made by a justice of the peace court or a city court. The appeal must be made within 10 days of the decision and the appeal is heard by a civil district court judge. The judge will hear the case as if it were a new trial, with all the evidence presented in the original case. In a Petition for Trial De Novo in a Parish Court, a party can appeal a decision made by a justice of the peace court or a city court. The appeal must be made within 10 days of the decision and the appeal is heard by a parish court judge. The judge will hear the case as if it were a new trial, with all the evidence presented in the original case. The main difference with this type of petition is that a jury can be requested, and a jury trial is held if the jury is requested.
