View this case - free  

Overview: Where an insurance policy excepted from coverage customers of businesses shown in the declarations as auto dealerships, the policy was construed against the insurer because, under La. Civ. Code Ann. arts. 2045, 2046, 2050, and 2056, the policy was ambiguous as to whether a "loaner" car driver was a customer of an auto dealership.

Ascension Sch. Emples. Credit Union v. Provost Salter Harper & Alford, L.L.C., 2006 CA 0992, COURT OF APPEAL OF LOUISIANA, FIRST CIRCUIT, March 23, 2007, Judgment Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the denial of an accounting firm's motion for summary judgment was an interlocutory judgment, La. Code Civ. Proc. Ann. art. 2083C, it was not appealable and could not be certified as such, La. Code Civ. Proc. Ann. art. 1915B; there was no right to appeal interlocutory judgment denying motion brought under La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 37:108.

View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment was granted in favor of defendant homeowners in plaintiffs' negligence action as the homeowners had no duty to protect against or control one guest's unexpected criminal actions toward another guest, La. Civ. Code Ann. art. 2315; no personal injuries would have resulted absent guest's sudden and unforeseeable violent behavior.

View this case - free  

Overview: Partial Summary judgment in favor of the Department of Revenue was affirmed because the modular banking units were corporeal movables that normally moved from one place to another under La.

View this case - free  

Overview: Denial of an employer's motion in limine was improper as the employer met its burden of proving that its financial condition was not relevant since there were no viable claims by the driver for exemplary damages pursuant to La. Civ. Code Ann. art. 2315.4 for entrusting its vehicle to the employee who became intoxicated and caused the accident.

Ellison v. Ellison, 2006 CA 0944, COURT OF APPEAL OF LOUISIANA, FIRST CIRCUIT, March 23, 2007, Judgment Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: For more than one year prior to her filing the petition to annul the judgment in favor of ex-husband, ex-wife had sufficient knowledge to excite further inquiry and a reasonable opportunity to discover the judgment partitioning their marital home. Thus, under La. Code Civ. Proc. Ann. art. 2004A, nullity action was untimely and properly dismissed.

Overview: Employee's claim for workers' compensation benefits for back injury was properly denied where she did not satisfy her burden of proving that work-related accident, as defined in La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 23:1021(1), occurred; WCJ did not err in finding that she had significant congenital condition that had become symptomatic prior to alleged accident.

In re Nunnery, NO. 07-B-0175, SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA, March 23, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Attorney who had been suspended in Wisconsin for 2 months was given reciprocal discipline in Louisiana pursuant to La. Sup. Ct. R. XIX, § 21(A); although the Supreme Court of Louisiana might well have imposed greater discipline if the misconduct had occurred in Louisiana, the court found it appropriate to defer to determination made in Wisconsin.
