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 recent much discussed cases of Gaspard v. LeMaire, 245 La. 239 , 158 So.2d 149 (1963) and its progeny, Ballard v. National Indemnity Company of Omaha, Neb., 246 La. 963 , 169 So.2d 64 (1964), have established the rale that appellate review of the quantum of damages is confined to determining whether there has been an abuse of the ‘much discretion’ vested in the trial court. The amounts of awards in previous similar cases are relevant only to determine whether there has been an abuse of this discretion.””
