1. “In First National Bank of Commerce v. Brown, 525 So.2d 672 (La.App. 1 Cir. 1988), Brown claimed FNBC violated the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act by suing him in an improper venue to harass him. The appellate court dismissed Brown's claim for damages and attorney fees, stating that La.R.S. 51:1409 "does not concern itself with filing suit in a court of improper venue." 525 So.2d at 674 . In contrast, plaintiffs rely on Bank of New Orleans & Trust Co. v. Phillips, 415 So.2d 973, 975 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1982), which found that "the intentional, knowledgeable filing of suit in the wrong venue is an unfair trade practice within the contemplation of R.S. 51:1401" to show that intentional use of the judicial process to harass a party can be an unfair trade practice in violation of the Act. In this case, however, plaintiffs have offered no evidence that suggests CNO intended its resort to judicial process to harass them. CNO's actions do not incorporate misrepresentation, deception, or unethical conduct. Applying Glod to this case, we find that the Antees' petition makes no allegation that OUPAC filed in the improper venue in order to harrass them. In fact, the Antees allege only that OUPAC misrepresented the Antees' domicile. However, their petition on its face negates this allegation by affirming that the domicile provided by OUPAC was in fact accurate. Accordingly, the trial court correctly concluded that the Antees did not state a cause of action for unfair trade practices.”
