La. Public Records Law Question

Yes. It’s listed in the Statute.

R.S. 44:35 provides that a person who has been denied the right to inspect, copy, reproduce, or obtain a copy or reproduction of a record either by a determination of the custodian or by the passage of five days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays, from the date of his in-person, written, or electronic request without receiving a determination in writing by the custodian or an estimate of the time reasonably necessary for collection, segregation, redaction, examination, or review of a records request, may institute proceedings for the issuance of a writ of mandamus (court order compelling the custodian to act), injunctive, or declaratory relief, as well as payment of attorney’s fees, costs, and damages as provided for under TU44:35.TU The proceedings must be filed in the district court for the parish in which the office of the custodian is located.
