BRUNET v. JUSTICE

Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Sep 28, 1972

Writ denied. No error of law in the judgment complained of.

BARHAM, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. Obligations under a contractor's bond to release lien may be differentiated from the owner's obligation on such a bond. The right to bond by a contractor, R.S. 9:4841, antedated and is not modified by the owner's statutory right to bond, R.S. 9:4842. Ten year prescription on contract could apply to suit on claim and bond.
