Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied October 19, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael R. Sistrunk, Hugh M. Glenn, Jr., New Orleans, for plaintiffs-appellees.

William A. Porteous, III, New Orleans, for defendant-appellant.

Before REDMANN, STOULIG and SCHOTT, JJ.


REDMANN, Judge.

The manufacturer of an electric transformer appeals from a judgment for $211,305.90 damages the transformer suffered from a lightning-caused current surge of 5.6 times normal current. The transformer would have withstood that surge (and up to 11.8 times normal) had it possessed the impedance quality the manufacturer declared it had in the contract of sale and upon a plate affixed to the transformer. We affirm the award.
