SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2023-CC-00536
RAMONA MATHERNE
VERSUS
ACADEMY, LTD.
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Parish of Terrebonne
PER CURIAM
Writ granted. The judgment of the court of appeal is reversed, and the ruling
of the trial court is reinstated. The court of appeal erred in granting summary
judgment in defendant’s favor based on a finding that the affidavit that plaintiff
produced in opposition was contrary to earlier deposition testimony. As exp ressed
by the trial court, there was not a “black and white contradiction” of testimony.
