“Wade White, a lifetime oysterman, is the owner of multiple oyster leases. Cox Operating, LLC ("Cox") entered into a "Receipt and Release" for $ 100,000 with Mr. White in 2000, when Cox began drilling wells near some of his oyster leases. 1 Subsequently, Cox sought to drill more wells near Mr. White's leases. In 2012, Cox negotiated another drilling release [Letter Agreement] with Mr. White for $ 175,000. 2 Around April 1, 2012, Mr. White discovered Cox's pilings driven into his oyster leases and water traffic that differed from the agreed upon routes on ingress/egress. Mr. White then contacted Cox, who allegedly admitted the error and promised payment for damages. Cox removed the pilings and then continued following the previous agreed upon ingress/egress routes. Cox later maintained that the executed drilling releases covered any damages caused by the pilings and extra water traffic. Mr. White then filed a Petition for Damages against Cox due to the pilings. Cox filed a reconventional demand for breach of contract of settlement/compromise, declaratory judgment, and attorney's fees/costs. Cox also filed peremptory exceptions of res judicata and no right of action and sought expedited consideration from the trial court. The trial court heard oral argument, but did not accept live testimony or evidence. After taking the matter under advisement, the trial court granted Cox's exception of res judicata and denied the exception of no right of action.”
