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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"All prescriptions affecting the cause of action therein sued upon are interrupted as to all defendants, including minors or interdicts, by the commencement of a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction and in the proper venue. When the pleading presenting the judicial demand is filed in an incompetent court, or in an improper venue, prescription is interrupted as to the defendant served by the service of process. As amended Acts 1960, No. 31, § 1."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““* * * Imprimis, we note: (1) no solidary liability existed between Har- raon the original defendant, and either of the other two defendants brought in by supplemental petition (there was no liability at all on the part of Harmon individually) ; (2) no fraud has been alleged or proved; and (3) the record is devoid of any evidence indicating the defendants, or any of them, misled or obstructed plaintiff in obtaining the true facts.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Good faith not being required on the part of the person pleading this prescription, the creditor can not impel him or his heirs to swear whether the debt has or has not been paid, but can only blame himself for not having taken his measures within the time directed by law; and it may be that the debtor may not be able to take any positive oath on the subject." (Emphasis added).”
