Sidney Stokes, Cross-Appellant v. Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Cross-Appellee
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided March 14, 1990No. 89-4403PublishedCited by 36 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:
In this Louisiana detrimental reliance diversity action, Georgia-Pacific appeals the district court’s ruling on the admissibility of parol evidence and the court’s denial of its motions for directed verdict, judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and new trial. Georgia-Pacific also objects to the trial court’s rejection of Georgia-Pacific’s contention that the claim had prescribed. Stokes answers and cross-appeals, objecting to the court’s award of interest from the date of judgment rather than from judicial demand. We affirm the district court’s rulings on all counts.
