Vienne v. Boissier
Vienne v. Boissier
Opinion of the Court
The petition states, that the heir of O. Bruard, having renounced his inheritance, his property vested in all his creditors,
His counsel (among other matters) alleges, as an error apparent on the face of the record, the absence of any right or capacity in the petitioner, to interfere in the affairs of the estate.
It seems to me, that admitting what is denied by Boissier, that all the heirs of O. Bruard have renounced the inheritance, the petitioner ought to have procured letters of curatorship, or provoked the appointment of a curator, who alone can legally represent in court the estate of a deceased, whose inheritance is repudiated. That no creditor has a right, aloof from the others, to stand in judgment, and oppose the rights or actions of another.
I think that the judgment ought to be reversed, and ours ought to be, that the injunction be dissolved, and that the petitioner pay the costs of this appeal, and those in the district court.
Concurring Opinion
I have examined this case with the judge who delivers this opinion, and concur for the reasons therein stated.
It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the district court be annulled, avoided and reversed, and this court proceeding to give such a judgment, as in their opinion ought to have been given in the district court; it is ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the injunction be dissolved, and that the plaintiff pay costs in both courts.
