Description

We granted these writs to determine the extent to which the City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton Rouge (the "City/Parish") is liable for digging three drainage ditches on plaintiffs' property without their consent and to determine whether the City/Parish's liability for damages is covered under its excess insurance policy which contains an intentional act exclusion. After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we find that the City/Parish committed a trespass onto plaintiffs' land and is liable for damages, albeit in a lesser amount than the lower courts awarded, and that the City/Parish committed an "intentional act" and thus its excess insurance carrier is not liable.
