496. The inscription in appeal must contain the description of the parties, the name of the court that rendered the judgment, the date of judgment, the duration of the proof and hearing in first instance, the conclusions sought by the appellant and a detailed statement of the grounds he intends to set up.
The detailed statement of the grounds must refer to the documentary evidence or the testimonies in respect of which the appellant claims that the judge in first instance committed a manifest error. It must also state in what way the errors of law or fact found are significant to the point of invalidating the judgment in first instance.
Where the appellant is unable to state in detail all the grounds he intends to set up within the time prescribed in article 494, a judge of the Court of Appeal may, on a motion, where so justified by serious reasons, authorize the filing of an additional statement within such time as he determines.
