SOUTHERN STATES MASONRY, INC. v. J.A. JONES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. and Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fifth Circuit.

Writ Granted January 23, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald L. Walter, Jr. Anne L. Jordan, Schwab & Walter, Baton Rouge, for plaintiff-appellant.

William M. Messersmith, III, Terrence L. Brennan, Deutsch, Kerrigan & Stiles, New Orleans, for defendants-appellees.

Before CHEHARDY, KLIEBERT and GRISBAUM, JJ.


GRISBAUM, Judge.

This appeal relates to a contract dispute between a subcontractor and a general contractor. From the trial court's judgment sustaining the exception of prematurity, the plaintiff appeals. We affirm.

The single issue presented is whether the subcontractual language providing for final payment upon "Final payment by Owner to Contractor under the Contract" is to be considered a "suspensive condition" or a "method of payment."
