Boguille v. New Orleans Public Service, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

*272IN RE: New Orleans Public Serv. Inc.; Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number CA-5049; Parish of Orleans Civil District Court Div. ā€œDā€ Number 85-1236.

Granted. Ruling of the Court of Appeal is reversed. Case remanded to the Court of Appeal to hear the appeal because NOPSI has made a sufficient showing of irreparable injury to entitle it to an appeal from a judgment which may cause irreparable injury under La.Code Civ.P. Art. 2083.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs.

There is irreparable injury in the context of La.C.C.P. Art. 2083 where the error sought to be corrected on the appeal from the interlocutory judgment cannot, as a practical matter, be corrected later on appeal after trial on the merits. Herlitz Construction Co. v. New Iberia Hotel Corp., 396 So.2d 878 (La. 1981).

Dissenting Opinion

DIXON, C.J.,

dissents, believing a class action is appropriate and no irreparable injury has been shown.
