356 So. 2d 431; 1978 La. LEXIS 7320 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Salsul Co. v. Kohlmeyer

Concurring Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

concurs. While I agree that Salmen’s Succession should be made a party on the basis of this application, I must persist in my position that deciding the merits of such a question in chambers without a hearing by which the adverse parties can be heard, involves the denial of due process.
