740. When the motion to institute proceedings has not been served on the defendant with the writ of seizure, the plaintiff must file it at the office of the court within five days, with a copy for the defendant.
The suit is contested in the ordinary manner, but it must be heard and decided by preference.
Seizure before judgment may be taken during the suit; it is then subject to the rules of this chapter, so far as they apply.
