Art. 2595.Trial; Decision

Speed is the point of a summary proceeding, and Article 2595 builds it into both the scheduling and the decision. Paragraph A requires the proceeding to be tried by preference over ordinary proceedings — meaning it jumps ahead of the ordinary docket — once reasonable notice has been given, and it is tried without a jury unless another law says otherwise.

Paragraph B carries that urgency through to the ruling itself. The court has to decide the matter as soon as practicable once trial concludes, and, whenever practicable, it has to decide without taking the matter under advisement — that is, without setting the case aside to deliberate and issue a written ruling later. The goal is a prompt answer, delivered close to the hearing itself rather than after an open-ended period of reflection.

Taken together, the two paragraphs describe a proceeding that moves to the front of the line and produces a result quickly once it gets there. That combination is what separates the matters Article 2592 routes onto this track from the ordinary lawsuits that make up the bulk of Louisiana civil litigation.
