(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
Alice Credeur Hebert, as Personal Representative of Anthony Fontenot and Davy James Credeur v. Petroleum Pipe Inspectors, Inc.
Opinion
The District Court held that the minors for whom this Jones Act suit was brought [46 U.S.C.A. § 688] were not “children” within the meaning of the Act because they were the adulterously illegitimate offspring of the deceased father, so denominated by Louisiana law.
The summary judgment granted the defendants on this ground is reversed and remanded, Levy v. Louisiana, 391 U.S. 68, 88 S.Ct. 1509, 20 L.Ed.2d 436.
Reversed and remanded.
