GRETNA – A Kansas-based corporation is suing a Barataria man for unpaid bills linked to work done on a fishing camp following a hurricane.

The defendant is accused of breach of contract.

Damages in the amount of $29,425.23 plus attorney’s fees, court costs and 1.5 percent per month on all unpaid amounts are sought by the plaintiff.
