As its name suggests, a suspensive appeal "suspends" the lower court's judgment and prevents it from being enforced while the appeal is pending. The devolutive appeal does not suspend the enforcement of the judgment while the appeal is pending. The suspensive appeal has one major catch.
Appeals in either civil or criminal cases are usually based on arguments that there were errors in the trial's procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law. The party appealing is called the appellant, or sometimes the petitioner. The other party is the appellee or the respondent.

A devolutive appeal is an appeal which allows the party who received the judgment to attempt to collect on the judgment while the appeals court decides the issues, as opposed to suspending the collection process while the appeal is pending. A devolutive appeal is allowed in some jurisdictions, like Louisiana.
Generally, an interlocutory judgment cannot be appealed immediately; any appeal must await entry of a final judgment. But Louisiana's appellate courts have supervisory jurisdiction over trial courts, and sometimes exercise that jurisdiction to review an interlocutory judgment immediately by granting a supervisory writ.
