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.
“In Succession of Burns, 199 La. 1081 , 7 So.2d 359, 363 [1942], we likened the giving of a thing in payment of an obligation to what is known in common law as an "accord and satisfaction." Like an accord and satisfaction of a claim or demand, the giving in payment is effected by the transfer and acceptance of property and has the effect of extinguishing and discharging the original demand. See, also, 1 C.J.S., Accord and Satisfaction, §§ 20 and 45. (Emphasis supplied.)”
