1Opinion of the Court
EZELL, Judge.
^Towing and Recovery Professionals of Louisiana Trust appeals a judgment of the trial court finding that it was estopped from raising the defense of no right or no cause of action. It argues that it is a public liability trust and not an insurer, and therefore there is no right to bring a direct action against it under La.R.S. 22:1269. It also claims that the trial court erred in awarding Plaintiff interest from the date of judicial demand.
