What if I do not file my appeal in time?

For civil appeals you will need to file an application for extension of time to appeal.

For criminal matters from the Supreme Court you will have to file a notice of application for extension of time within which to appeal from the Supreme Court (Form B2) with your notice of appeal/notice of application for permission to appeal (Form B1).

The Court of Appeal does not have the power to extend the time to file an appeal in criminal appeals from Parish Courts.
