Hailey v. La Salle Parish Police Jury

BARHAM, J.,

dissents from denial of writ. Relator complains that the Court of Appeal erred in failing to apply the comparative negligence of our Civil Code article 2323. Whether the facts support the application of that Code provision is immaterial in my opinion. The court below erred in applying contributory negligence doctrine of common law in contravention of the specific provision to balance “imprudence”. C.C. art. 2323.
