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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant’s plea of res judicata is not well founded, because the dismissal of a suit on the ground that five years have elapsed without any steps being taken in the prosecution of it, according to article 3519 of the Civil Code, as amended by the Act 107 of 1898, p. 155, does not decide any controversy, and is therefore not available as an estoppel or as the basis for a plea of res judicata. Charbonnet v. State Realty Co., 155 La. 1044 , 99 So. 865 .””
