Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana

Re: how to set a court date

While you may certainly file a Motion to Set for Trial with the court yourself, a better course of action would probably be to seek new counsel. In Louisiana, the sort of action that you describe is referred to as a redhibition action. Your chnaces of success often depend upon whether your act of sale contained a waiver of redhibition (the so- callled "as is" clause). These actions have many technical rules and if you are going to represent yourself rather than getting new counsel, you should familiarize your self with the provisions of the Louisiana Civil Code addressing redhibition actions. As for the trial setting, the court should have a form to use for this purpose.
