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 195 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A master or employer is liable for the tortious conduct of a servant or employee which is within the scope of authority or employment, but a principal is not liable for the physical torts of a non-servant agent.”
19 later decisions quote this exact passage“Louisiana jurisprudence has equated the phrase 'in the exercise of the functions in which they are employed' with the phrase 'in the course and scope of employment' used in the common law doctrine of respondeat superior.”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage“by inquiring into the overall relationship of the parties and the element of control, our jurisprudence has established reasonable definitions and limitations of vicarious liability to replace the literal codal restriction which has fallen into desuetude.”
