Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 13, § 1275. Failure to pay cost or file testimony

If the court should direct the transcription of the notes of testimony, and if any party refuses or fails to pay his share of the cost of such transcription, or to file such transcribed testimony within a reasonable time to be fixed by the court, the case shall be decided as if the testimony of that party, not transcribed or filed, had not been offered.
