Campbell V. Melton

We granted a writ of certiorari in this case to review the lower courts' interpretation of a buy/sell agreement to purchase immovable property. We find that the lower courts improperly admitted parol evidence to determine the parties' intent regarding an unambiguous clause in the "additional provisions" clause of the contract. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the lower courts' judgments, and grant judgment in favor of the defendant.
