Latiolais v. Breaux
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Eighteenth Judicial District Court, Parish of Acadia; Wm. Campbell, Judge. Action by Joseph Ignace Latiolais against Albert Breaux. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the Court
ST. PAUL, J'.
This is an action to have an alleged sale of land with right of redemption (vente a reméré) declared a mere pignorative contract (common-law mortgage); the difference being this, that in sales with right of redemption the purchaser becomes the owner of the property sold, subject only to the right of the vendor to reacquire the property (C. C. 2567, 2575 to 2578), whilst in pignorative contracts the nominal vendor continues to be owner and the nominal purchaser has only a pledge or mortgage for his debt, which he must enforce in the usual way. Collins v. Pellerin, 5 La. Ann. 99.
