RS 5033 - Same; decisions within forty-eight hours; suspensive appeals

All matters involving any such claim shall be decided within forty-eight hours after submission, whether in term time or in vacation, and whether in the court of first instance or in an appellate court. All judgments sustaining any such claim shall be rendered and signed on the same day, and shall become final and executory on the fifth calendar day after rendition. No new trial, rehearing or devolutive appeal shall be allowed. Suspensive appeals may be granted, but must be perfected within five calendar days from the rendition of the judgment by the giving of bond, with surety in a sum double that of the total amount of the judgment, including costs. Such appeals, whether to a court of appeal or to the Supreme Court, shall be made returnable in not more than fifteen calendar days from the rendition of the judgment.
