Fontenot v. Town of Mamou
Louisiana Court of Appeal
1Opinion of the Court
PERRET, Judge.
This appeal requires this court to review a judgment declaring the Town of Mamou ("the Town") the legal owner of a sewerage lift station as well as the legal owner of the tract of land on which the lift station sits. Plaintiff, Donovan Fontenot ("Mr. Fontenot"), appeals the judgment, asserting that he is the lawful owner of both the disputed land and the lift station. We reverse the judgment finding the Town the lawful landowner and remand the case to the trial court for a hearing to determine what rights the Town has in the lift station.
