Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Orlando G. Bendana and Wayne H. Carlton, Jr., New Orleans, for plaintiffs-appellants.

Sessions, Fishman, Rosenson, Snellings & Boisfontaine, Owen A. Neff, New Orleans, for defendants-appellees.

Before REDMANN, LEMMON and BOUTALL, JJ.


LEMMON, Judge.

Mrs. Effie Garrett has appealed from a judgment which maintained several pre-trial exceptions and dismissed her suit for damages on behalf of her minor children. The principal issue is whether a tortfeasor may question the procedural capacity of a mother who is living separate and apart from the father without a judgment of separation or divorce and who obtains an appointment as provisional tutrix authorized to present the children's tort claim.
