Hughes, J., dissenting.
I respectfully dissent and would grant the writ. The court of appeal cites "discussions about settling the matter" in ordering that each party would bear its own costs, rather than awarding costs to the prevailing plaintiff. Settlement discussions are not admissible evidence, LSA-C.E. art 408. I would award all costs to the prevailing party.
