Shadoin (HB 1181) Act No. 843
Prior law provided that in the city courts of Alexandria, Pineville, Slidell, and Ruston, the
civil jurisdiction is concurrent with the district court in cases where the amount in dispute,
or the value of the property involved, does not exceed the amount provided in Article
1732(1) for purposes of demanding a jury trial, which is $50,000 pursuant to existing law.
New law retains prior law and sets the jurisdictional amount in dispute at $50,000 and
removes the reference to the amount in dispute provided by Article 1732(1).
Effective Aug. 1, 2014.
(Amends C.C.P. Art. 4843(H))
