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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““(1, 2) A real estate broker whose efforts were the ‘procuring cause’ of a sale is entitled to be paid his commission, even though the sale is not consummated until after the expiration of the contract of agency. Bullis & Thomas v. Calvert, 162 La. 378 , 110 So. 621 (1926); Lehmann v. Howard, 49 So.2d 453 (La.App. 2 Cir. 1950); Womack Agencies, Inc. v. Fisher, 86 So.2d 732 (La.App. 1 Cir. 1956); Foulks v. Richardson, 87 So.2d 335 (La.App. 1 Cir. 1956). As stated in the Womack Agencies case, supra, ‘procuring cause’ refers to the efforts of a broker in introducing, producing, finding, or interesting a purchaser, and means that negotiations that eventually lead to a sale must be the result of some active effort of the broker.”
