Art. 4905.Notice of Judgment In Parish Or City Courts

Article 4905 keeps this chapter's notice rule simple by pointing back to Book II rather than creating a separate standard. Once a final judgment is signed in a parish or city court, notice of that signing has to be given the same way Article 1913 requires it in an ordinary district court proceeding.

That cross-reference matters beyond consistency alone. Article 4907's new trial delay in these courts runs only seven days, and where notice of judgment is required, that seven-day period is measured from when the clerk mails or the sheriff serves the notice this article calls for. Getting notice out promptly and correctly is not a formality here; it fixes the starting line for a deadline that leaves little room to spare.
