Opinion
No. 2003-CC-0544.
May 9, 2003.
In re Southern Baptist Hospital a/k/a et al.; Christian Health Ministries; — Defendant(s); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Civil District Court Div. C, No. 92-13936; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2002-C-2750.
Denied. Adequate remedy on appeal.
CALOGERO, C.J., concurs in the denial of the application. If the district court ultimately renders a judgment against relator in excess of the cap, relator will have an adequate remedy on appeal, at which time it can re-raise its arguments regarding the applicability of the medical mal-practice act and ask that the judgment be reduced to the amount of the cap.
VICTORY, J., would grant the writ.
