Raymond E. HANKAMER et al. v. TEXACO, INC.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit.

Writ Granted September 26, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

A. Lane Plauche and Reid K. Hebert, Plauche, Smith, Hebert & Nieset, Lake Charles, James W. Schwing, Provost, Ernest & Schwing, New Iberia, counsel for plaintiffs-appellants.

Charles F. Bailey and Reginald J. Ringuet, Lafayette, counsel for defendant-appellee.

Before ELLIS, CHIASSON and PONDER, JJ.


PONDER, Judge.

Plaintiffs appeal from the denial of their petition for a class action suit and from the sustaining of a plea of prescription to any items of damages accruing more than three years prior to the filing of a suit to recover claimed underpayments of overriding gas royalties.

The issues are the appealability of the judgments; the propriety of class action and the correctness of the holding that claims more than three years old are prescribed.
