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.

  1. “The decision of our State Supreme Court in Onorato v. Rossignol, 217 La. 751 , 47 So.2d 489 [La.1950) ], is not inconsistent with these decisions or the legal principles above stated. There, a dry-cleaning establishment was held to have lost its nonconforming status in a residential area because the property had been vacant for over two years. However, in that instance (unlike the present), the municipal zoning ordinance applicable specifically provided a nonconforming status was lost if the nonconforming building remained vacant continuously for more than six months.”
