n Supervisory Writ to the 15th Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafayette
PER CURIAM
T
he writ is granted for the sole purpose of remanding the case to the court of
appeal for briefing, argument, and full opinion.
In its opinion, the court of appeal should discuss whether the 2021 amendment
to La. R.S. 9:2800.9 manifested an express intent to revive all claims prescribed
under the prior law. See Cameron Par. Sch. Bd. v. ACandS, Inc ., 96 -0895 (La.
1/14/97), 687 So.2d 84; Chance v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 93–2582 (La.
4/11/94), 635 So.2d 177.
If the court determines the 2021 amendment has the effect of reviving the
prescribed cause of action in this case, it should then address relator’s alternative
argument that such a result would unconstitutionally impair relator’s vested right in
the defense of liberative prescription.
