United States Fire Insurance v. Lawson

Opinion of the Court

In re: United States Fire Insurance Company, applying for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans. 317 So.2d 217.

Writ refused. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, there is no error of law in its judgment.

Concurring Opinion

MARCUS, J.,

concurs in denial of this writ but is of the view that this Court should reconsider its holding in Booth v. Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., 253 La. 521, 218 So.2d 580 (1969) or the matter addresses itself to the legislature for the purpose of creating a new prescriptive period for an insured to bring an action against his insurer under the uninsured motorist provision or for the insurer to bring suit against the uninsured motorist.
