Chapter shall be afforded notice and opportunity to be heard in each proceeding for the
redetermination of an assessment, the consideration of a payment under protest petition, the
determination of an overpayment, or the consideration of any other matter to be tried, heard,
or considered pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter. A decision or judgment in these
matters shall be made as quickly as practicable.
B. An action filed pursuant to this Part shall be deemed in any court of Louisiana to
be a suit pending in a court of this state for the purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Article
531.
C. Except upon the joint motion of all parties, the board shall not consolidate a case
against a local collector with a case against a state collector or with a case against one or
more other local collectors; however, nothing in this Part shall prevent the board, upon the
joint motion of all parties and when in the interest of justice and efficiency, from ordering
a consolidated hearing for the adjudication of pending cases, provided that each party's own
counsel or qualified representative and witnesses may appear and present its case, and
provided that the board shall render a separate judgment for any case brought against a local
collector, even when such case is considered in a joint hearing together with another case or
cases.
