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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“except when the value of the object given exceeds by one-half that of. . . the services.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““There is another reason, however, why article 1497 of the Civil Code is not applicable to the donation in contest in this case; that is, that the donation was an onerous donation, and to some extent a remunerative donation, and there is no proof that the value of the property donated exceeded by one-half the value of the services rendered by the donee. Article 1526 of the Civil Code provides that ‘the rules peculiar to donations inter vivos do not apply to onerous and remunerative donations, except when the value of the object exceeds by one-half that of the charges or of the services.’ There is no proof in this ease that the value of the property donation exceeded [that amount].” 18 So.2d at 638 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the services rendered by the donee in this instance ... greatly exceeded two-thirds of the value of the property donated; which is the same as to say that the value of the property donated did not amount to one and one-half times the value of the services rendered by the donee.”
