Floyd v. City of New Orleans
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 10, 1971 · Barham, Tate
257 La. 984; 244 So. 2d 857; 1971 La. LEXIS 4493

Floyd v. City of New Orleans

Opinion of the Court

*985On the facts found by the Court of'Appeal, we cannot say that the result reached is incorrect.

BARHAM and TATE, JJ.,

are of the opinion the writ should be granted. The Court of Appeal has failed to set forth a satisfactory factual basis for finding abuse of discretion in the lower court award of damages. See C.C. Art. 1934(3). The appellate award appears to be violative of the principles enunciated in Gaspard v. LeMaire, 245 La. 239, 158 So.2d 149.
