## Opinion text

McCALEB, J.,
is of the opinion that a writ should be granted. Although the Department of Highways does not complain in its application here that the method used by the Court of Appeal in determining severance damages is incorrect, a writ should nevertheless issue as the method employed by the court is contrary to the established jurisprudence of this Court and, consequently, should be noticed, ex proprio motu.
