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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The second prong of the defense is merely an integral part of the main issue, i. e., did this admitted technical violation of a parish ordinance, when considered with all the other evidence, render the premises uninhabitable? We have no hesitancy in holding the mere showing that no applications or plans for a sewage system had been submitted, without further proof that the premises were in fact unsanitary and uninhabitable, did not render the contract void ab initio.””
