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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The complicated facts and legal proceedings surrounding this litigation were detailed in an earlier appeal to this court, when we overruled an exception of no cause of action and remanded this suit for trial on the merits. La.App., 127 So.2d 560 . In our opinion on the first appeal we decided against the defendants on their first two contentions above listed. Our decision of these identical issues on the first appeal in this same suit between the same parties provides the `law of the case' on this second appeal; we need not consider and decide again what has been previously decided in this same suit, as our earlier decision of the same issues in the first appeal is binding on the parties in this court on this second appeal. See Keller v. Thompson, La.App. 3 Cir., 134 So.2d 395 , certiorari denied." Emphasis ours.”

Art. 508), have consistently been held to be the owner of the improvements constructed unless and until the owner of the land elects to exercise any right he may have to pay their fair value and retain the improvements (citations omitted).””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The lessee has a right to remove the improvements and additions which he has made to the thing let, provided he leaves it in the state in which he received it. “But if these additions be made with lime and cement, the lessor may retain them, on paying a fair price.””
