Supreme Court of Louisiana

Industrial Companies, Inc. v. Durbin

January 28, 2003837 So. 2d 1207

Summary

The court held that Industrial's petition adequately stated both a cause of action for unjust enrichment and a right of action to seek recovery of disputed funds retained by the defendants. Because the defendants supplied no evidence establishing that the funds were attorney fees, the exceptions could not be sustained on that basis. The court reversed the order requiring joinder of the Connells because their necessity was not established on the record, and remanded for further proceedings.
