Brunet v. Justice

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Sep 28, 1972
266 So. 2d 451 (La. 1972)

Opinion

No. 52786.

September 28, 1972.

In re: William M. Justice, Jr. applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Jefferson.


Writ denied. No error of law in the judgment complained of.

BARHAM, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. Obligations under a contractor's bond to release lien may be differentiated from the owner's obligation on such a bond. The right to bond by a contractor, R.S. 9:4841, antedated and is not modified by the owner's statutory right to bond, R.S. 9:4842. Ten year prescription on contract could apply to suit on claim and bond.
