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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An estate is not enclosed if it has access to a public road by means of a conventional servitude of right of way or even by means of precarious right of way resting on the sufferance of neighbors. In a leading decision, the court found that the owner of an estate had access to a highway by sufferance of neighboring landowners and held that as long as this road is `open to plaintiff's use he is not in a position legally to demand a servitude of passage to the highway across the land of others.' The precarious right of way, however, must be sufficient for vehicular traffic throughout the year." (Citations omitted)”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Art. 699. The owner whose estate is enclosed, and who has no way to a public road, a railroad, a tramroad or a water course may claim the right of passage on the estate of his neighbor or neighbors to the nearest public road, railroad, tramroad or water course and shall have the right to construct a road, railroad or tramway according to circumstances and as the exigencies of the case may acquire (require), over the land of his neighbor or neighbors for the purpose of getting the products of his said enclosed land to such public road, railroad, tramroad or water course, or for the cultivation of his estate, but he shall be bound to indemnify his neighbor or neighbors in proportion to the damage he may occasion.””
