State v. Cairns
State v. Cairns
353 So. 2d 1049; 1978 La. LEXIS 7012
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State v. Cairns
Opinion of the Court
In re: John Cairns, applying for review and for Stay Order. Parish of Morehouse.
Writ denied.
Concurring Opinion
is of the opinion that no crime of unauthorized use of automobile is proved. The purchaser by a conditional sale agreement cannot be regarded as committing a criminal offense by his violation of the terms of the contract; that is a matter for the civil courts and for civil remedies, such as rescission or repossession to enforce the unpaid balance.
