How much time do I have to file a civil appeal?

Except for appeals from the Parish Courts, notices of appeal in civil matters must be filed and served:

  1. (for an interlocutory appeal where permission to appeal is not required) within 14 days of the date on which the decision appealed against was made;
  2. (where permission to appeal is required) within 14 days of the date when permission was granted; or
  3. (in the case of any other appeal) within 42 days of the date on which the order or judgment being appealed was made.

For civil appeals from Parish Courts the party appealing may give verbal notice of appeal at the time the judgment is given or may within 14 days of the date of the judgment file written notice of appeal in the Parish Court.
