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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Horns v. Brown, 243 La. 936 , 148 So.2d 607 , this Court, in considering whether an employee who ‘permitted’ garnishments against his wages in violation of his employer’s policy was disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation * * for misconduct connected with his employment * * *’, cited approvingly the statement in 48 Am. Jur. Verbo Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, etc., Section 38, page 541 of the interpretation enunciated by the tribunals of other jurisdictions of this provision of the law, as follows: “ ‘Misconduct within the meaning of an unemployment compensation act excluding from its benefits an employee discharged for misconduct must be an act of wanton or wilful disregard of the employer’s interest, a deliberate violation of the employer’s rules, a disregard of standards of behavior which the employer has the right to expect of his employee, or negligence in such degree of recurrence as to manifest culpability, wrongful intent, or evil design, or show an intentional and substantial disregard of the employer’s interest or of the employee’s duties and obligations to the employer. * * *’ (Emphasis ours).””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“ineligible to perform the task of his employment”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It will not do to say that, because an act of misconduct relates to the “private life” of the employee, it is essentially not connected with his employment for in these cases the question for determination must always be whether the result of the misconduct has adversely' affected the employee’s ability and capacity to perform his duties in an appreciable degree. If it has, then it follows that it is contrary to the employer’s interest and in . . . disregard of standards of behavior which the employer has the right to expect of his employee . . . Thus, by this criterion alone there is nexus.”
