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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A third person having an interest therein may intervene in a pending action to enforce a right related to or connected with the object of the pending action against one or more of the parties thereto by: "(1) Joining with plaintiff in demanding the same or similar relief against the defendant; "(2) Uniting with defendant in resisting the plaintiff's demand; or "(3) Opposing both plaintiff and defendant."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The mere fact that the alleged damage to Gros' building resulting from the same accident which caused Resor's damage does not in our opinion give Gros a right to intervene in Resor's suit. While an issue necessary to be determined in the main suit (and also in any proceeding by Gros to recover his own damage) is whether the accident was caused by the negligence of Resor or Mouton or both, the resolution of this issue is not the `object' of Resor's suit but only a prerequisite to the attainment of such `object'."
