HUGHES, J.,
concurring.
_JjThis is not a case where the mandatary incurred expenses in performance of the mandate. The mandate was completed and the principal is deceased.
Rather, the mandatary incurred an expense or loss after the mandate was complete, as a result of the mandate. See Civil Code article 3013.
Thus the mandatary is not entitled to interest on sums expended “in performance of the mandate,” Civil Code article 3014.
However, because the mandatary would in any event be entitled to legal interest from the date of judicial demand, rather than from the date of the loss, I will in, the interest of judicial economy, concur in the majority opinion.
