Supreme Court of Louisiana.

October 25, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

The Willeford Law Firm, James Frederick Willeford , Reagan Levert Toledano , Jessica Michelle Vasquez , New Orleans, LA, for Applicant.

Taylor, Porter, Brooks & Phillips, LLP, Tom Samuel Easterly , Edward Daniel Hughes , Baton Rouge, LA, for Respondent.


CLARK, Justice.

We granted certiorari to determine whether the court of appeal erred in reversing the trial court's denial of the defendant's exception of res judicata. For the reasons that follow, we find an unconfirmed arbitration award does not have a preclusive effect. Accordingly, we reverse the court of appeal's ruling and remand the matter to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this holding.
