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

1. “"Irreparable injury is that injury for which an injured party cannot be compensated adequately in damages and which damages cannot be measured by pecuniary standards. Dastugue v. Cohen, 14 La.App. 475 , 131 So. 746, 761 (La.App.Orls.1930). "Waters has shown that he was appointed to the Rapides Parish Planning Commission in January of 1968 to serve for a period of three years; that he has served since that time and desires to serve his term; that he has engaged counsel for the purpose of defending him and representing him in this matter; that he is a business man who has lived in this area all of his life; that he is active in civic affairs; that the effort by Mayor Karst to remove him has resulted in many requests for statements from the news media; that he has been bothered by the kidding and comments related to this event; and that Mayor Karst is firmly committed to removing Waters from the Commission. "To subject Waters to a public hearing which Mayor Karst has no authority to hold would cause irreparable injury, and Waters is therefore entitled to injunctive relief. See West v. Town of Winnsboro, 252 La. 605 , 211 So.2d 665 (1968); Lentini v. City of Kenner, 252 La. 413 , 211 So.2d 311 (1968)."”
