Opinion text

BARHAM, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. Obligations under a contractor’s bond to release lien may be differentiated from the owner’s obligation on such a bond. The right to bond by a contractor, R.S. 9:4841, antedated and is not modified by the owner’s statutory right to bond, R.S. 9:4842. Ten year prescription on contract could apply to suit on claim and bond.
