Text: After a review of the law and record, we find the court of appeal committed legal error in amending the trial court’s judgment to assign 100% fault to WinnDixie. We find the jury’s allocation of 30% fault to Winn-Dixie and 70% fault to KAP is supported by the record. For the above reasons, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeal as to apportionment of liability and reinstate the district court’s judgment on the jury’s allocation of fault. We likewise reverse the court of appeal’s judgment assessing 100% of the costs to Winn-Dixie and reinstate the district court’s 4 La. C.C.P. art. 2164 provides: “The appellate court shall render any judgment which is just, legal, and proper upon the record on appeal. The court may award damages, including attorney fees, for frivolous appeal or application for writs, and may tax the costs of the lower or appellate court, or any part thereof, against any party to the suit, as in its judgment may be considered equitable.” 16 order taxing Winn-Dixie and Ms. Thompson each with 50% of the costs.
