Kellis v. Farbergreen

1996I concur for the sole purpose of clarifying the statement by the Supreme Court in Jordan v. Central Louisiana Electric Co., Inc., 95-1270, p. 2 (La. 6/23/95); 656 So.2d 988 (La.1995) that LSA-C.C.P. art. 71 through 85 "are part and parcel of the general venue rule set forth in Article 42." This statement and similar language in Kellis v. Farber, 523 So.2d 843 (La.1988), denotes that LSA-C.C.P. art. 71 through 85 are no longer to be treated as inferior to Article 42, strictly construed, and required to yield precedence to Article 42, which was presumptively favored.

1989This court based its ruling on Kellis v. Farber, 523 So.2d 843 (La.1988), wherein the supreme court held that the reference to LSA-C.C.P. art. 42 in LSA-C.C.P. art. 73 includes statutory exceptions to the general venue rule.
