SUCCESSION OF Henry Crawford BARTIE.

No. 85-CA-0521.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

June 28, 1985.

David J. Williams, Lake Charles, for plaintiff-appellee.

C.A. Miller, Jr., Richard Savoy, Lake Charles, Isaac E. Henderson, Baton Rouge, for defendant-appellant.

CALOGERO, Justice.

This civil appeal is from a trial court judgment in plaintiffs' favor which held that La.C.C. art. 1493, prior to its amendment in 1981, was unconstitutional insofar as it treated illegitimate children differently from legitimate children, granting only the latter the right of forced heirship.
