Lead Opinion

In Re: Ozema Authement, Jr., applying for writ of Certiorari to the Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans, Number 77-6883, Division K; Fourth Circuit Court, Number C-1022

Granted. Judgment of the court of appeal is reversed. Case is remanded to the court of appeal to reconsider the petition for supervisory writs of the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans. If a writ is granted, there shall be briefing, argument and an opinion prior to disposition.






Concurrence Opinion

DIXON, C.J.,

would grant. The dock board is not a “principal” under 23:1061. It was the owner of the locks, but leased the locks to the corporation to operate. See Lewis v. Exxon, 441 So.2d 192.
