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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As part owner [of the land the defendant] had a right, with the consent of her co-owners, to put improvements on the land, and she was not a trespasser or `possessor in bad faith' when she did so. She cannot therefore be compelled to remove them, as they have become part of the immovable, and she is entitled [either to their value, or] to the enhanced value of the soil. Poche v. Theriot, 23 La.Ann. 137 ; R.C.C. art. 508, par. 4.”
