RS 30:2050.29: Mandamus

Except for those situations in which R.S. 30:2024(C) and R.S. 30:2050.4(G) apply, whenever this Chapter specifies a deadline for the secretary or authorized assistant secretary to act on a particular matter and the secretary or authorized assistant secretary fails to act by such deadline, then any adversely affected party has the right to a writ of mandamus from the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the parish of East Baton Rouge, directing the secretary or authorized assistant secretary to act within a period of time to be specified by the court, and if the adversely affected party prevails, the court shall award court costs and attorney fees.
