Louisiana Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the Court

Alleging that an airplane owned by plaintiffs had been wrecked and "totally destroyed" and that defendant had issued a policy of insurance covering any loss or damage to their airplane "except damage due to crash," plaintiffs filed this suit for $1,000.

Defendant filed a plea of vagueness and an exception of no cause of action. After plaintiffs had amended their petition, defendant answered, admitting the issuance of the policy, but denied that its provisions covered the crash damage suffered by the airplane.

From a judgment against it in the amount of $950, defendant prosecutes this appeal.
