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

1. ““It is settled that a broker is entitled to his commission as soon as he has obtained a purchaser ready, willing and able to buy at the price agreed upon by the owner, and that the commission is due by the prospective purchaser if, after binding himself, he refuses to comply with his agreement. See Brugier v. Ritchie, 7 La.App. 179 ; Broomes Printing Office v. Louisiana Margarin Co., 8 La.App. 188 ; McWilliams v. Stackhouse, 1 La.App. 253 ; Palmisano v. Stewart, 3 La.App. 66 ; Dauterive v. West India Transportation Corporation, 3 La.App. 319 ; Prince v. St. Aurin, 5 La.App. 567 ; Stoer v. Pearson, 5 La.App. 609 . “In Clesi v. Thacher, 12 La.App. 55 , 125 So. 194, 195 , we held that where the purchaser has definitely withdrawn and has stated that he would not comply with his offer, there is no necessity that he be put in default and that he is liable at once for the commission of the agent.””
