Docket Number | 9933 |
Citation | 1 La.App. 628 |
Court | Court of Appeal of Louisiana — District of US |
Parties | JOSEPH COLTRARO v. C. J. CHOTIN, Appellant |
Appeal from First City Court of the City of New Orleans, Hon. Henry Renshaw, Judge.
This is a suit to annul a judgment.
An exception of no cause of action was sustained.
Judgment reversed and remanded.
K. V Richard, attorney for plaintiff and appellee.
W. O Hart, attorney for defendant and appellant.
The plaintiff, Coltraro, obtained a judgment against the defendant Chotin, who had filed an answer to his petition, in the absence of Chotin and his counsel. Chotin sued to annul the judgment on the ground that "no notice of trial was ever served". An exception of no cause of action was filed to the petition to annul the judgment which was maintained and Chotin has appealed. The Sheriff's return is in the record and it recites that notice was properly served, nevertheless, the petition contains the sworn allegation that no service was made and the responsibility of proving same was undertaken by plaintiff in injunction. For the purpose of our present consideration, we must assume that no notice of trial was served. The question is whether a judgment can be annulled upon that ground.
We are referred by counsel for defendant in injunction to Art. 606 C. P., and our attention is directed to the fact that the ground alleged in this case is not found among the enumerated vices of form for which a judgment can be annulled. The argument is made that the causes mentioned in Art. 606, C P., are exclusive. Counsel is in error. In Tarver vs. Quinn, 149 La. 368, 89 So. 216, the Court said:
