Faustina Pipe Line Company v. Hebert

474 So. 2d 1295, 1985 La. LEXIS 9306

Opinion

474 So.2d 1295 (1985)

FAUSTINA PIPE LINE COMPANY
v.
John Austin HEBERT, Annabelle Hebert Sonnier, et al.
FAUSTINA PIPE LINE COMPANY
v.
Percy HEBERT, et al.

No. 85-C-1215.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

September 20, 1985.

Denied.

DENNIS, J., would grant the writ.

BLANCHE, J., would grant the writ on the issue of severance damages. The mere existence of a pipeline absent any evidentiary support of damage will not support an award for severance damages. Furthermore, encasement costs of a pipeline under unplanned streets in an imaginary subdivision is speculative.
