Facts: After Hurricane Katrina had damaged the premises, a Louisiana tenant moved its merchandise and other possessions out of the space that it had rented under a 25-year lease. The tenant also stopped paying rent and refused the owner's request to meet that lease duty.
The owner sued the tenant for past and future rent, and for the costs of repairing the premises. The tenant and the owner each asked that the court award it a judgment without a trial.
