COLLINS v. EMPLOYERS INS. OF WAUSAU

No. 14222.

402 So.2d 158 (1981)

Ervin COLLINS v. EMPLOYERS INSURANCE OF WAUSAU.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit.

June 29, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gordon Hackman, Boutte, for plaintiff.

Russell M. Cornelius, Norman & Norman, New Orleans, for defendant.

Before ELLIS, COLE and WATKINS, JJ.


COLE, Judge.

The issue in this case is whether or not Act 494 of 1975, amending and reenacting La.R.S. 22:1406(D)(1), may be applied retroactively to effect uninsured motorist coverage for an incident occurring after its effective date, even though the policy was issued prior to its effective date.

We hold it may not be given retroactive effect in such instances and, therefore, reverse the partial summary judgment from which this appeal was taken.
