Court of Appeals of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

February 7, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nick Pizzolatto, Jr., Lake Charles, for plaintiff/appellee.

Raggio, Cappel, Chozen & Berniard, Frederick Cappel, Plauche, Smith & Nieset, P.C., A.R. Johnson IV, Lake Charles, for defendant/appellant.

Before DOMENGEAUX, C.J., and FORET and LABORDE, JJ.


LABORDE, Judge.

This is an appeal brought by intervenor, Transportation Insurance Company (Transportation), from a judgment ordering it to pay plaintiff, Jay R. Denton, a portion of the litigation expenses and attorney's fees incurred as a result of the present action. We find that the trial judge erred in not following the formula set out by the Louisiana Supreme Court in Moody v. Arabie, 498 So.2d 1081 (La.1986)
