Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If our Code contained no special disposition for casesi like the present, the action of the iplaintiff might probably be maintained under the general principle he invokes, but our laws on the contract of sale, in defining the various remedies given to the purchaser by the action ‘ex empto’ have provided that such wrongs as the plaintiff complains of, can only be redressed by the action of redhibition or the action ‘quanti minoris’, it was therefore incumbent upon him to have resorted to one of these.””
