Phillip A. Wittmann, Clinton W. Shinn, Stone, Pigman, Walther, Wittmann & Hutchinson, New Orleans, for plaintiffs-respondents.


TATE, Justice.

The agents of several title insurers sue to enjoin the defendant competitor, a title insurer and its agent, from furnishing title insurance at a lower and allegedly illegal rate.

The trial court sustained exceptions and dismissed the suit upon several grounds, the most important of which (prematurity) involves the plaintiffs' alleged failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

Granting certiorari, the court of appeal reversed.
