MYRES v. LIGHTHOUSE LIFE INS. CO., INC.

No. 13803.

368 So.2d 805 (1979)

Leonard MYRES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LIGHTHOUSE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, INC., Defendant-Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

February 20, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Claudius E. Whitmeyer, Shreveport, for plaintiff-appellant.

Barry E. Edwards, Shreveport, for defendant-appellee.

Before BOLIN, HALL and MARVIN, JJ.

BOLIN, Judge.

Plaintiff sued his former employer for $600 for past due salary, penalty wages and attorney fees under La.R.S. 23:631-2. From judgment awarding plaintiff $160 (representing 4/5ths of one week's salary) and $500 attorney fees, but rejecting the demand for penalty wages, both parties appeal. We amend to increase the award for attorney fees and as amended affirm.

The issues relate to whether penalty wages and attorney fees should be awarded.
