City of Eunice v. Credeur
City of Eunice v. Credeur
Opinion
CITY OF EUNICE
v.
Rebecca CREDEUR.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Writ granted in part. The Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, erred in awarding a penalty under La.R.S. 23:1201(F) as the City of Eunice did not fail to provide payment of a claim but arbitrarily, capriciously, or without probable cause discontinued payment of a claim. Therefore, La.R.S. 23:1201(F) is inapplicable. Instead, La. R.S. 23:1201.2 governs this case and does not allow for the awarding of a penalty. See La.R.S. 23:1201(F); La.R.S. 23:1201.2; Williams v. Rush, 98-2271 (La.6/29/99), 737 So.2d 41, 43-45. Accordingly, we vacate and set aside that portion of the appellate court's opinion. In all other respects this writ application is denied.
VICTORY, J., not on panel.
