Woods v. Nichols Construction Corp.

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Woods v. Nichols Construction Corp., 342 So. 2d 225 (La. 1977)
Dixon

Woods v. Nichols Construction Corp.

Opinion of the Court

In re: Barry Woods and Nichols Construction Corp. and Associated Indemnity Corporation, applying for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, 340 So.2d 609, First Circuit, Parish of Assumption.

Writ denied. The result is correct.

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial. While the “manifest error” rule is subject to abuse and can be said to conflict with the consti*226tutional right to appellate review of facts in this case it seems the court of appeal employed the rule more as an invocation to terminate the opinion than as a rule of law to measure the depth of factual review.
