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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Stipulations in deeds and title to land providing for building restrictions which are inserted in pursuance of a general subdivision plan devised by a common ancestor in title to establish certain use and building standards, constituting covenants running with the land, and wherein no provision is made for terminating the effective date of said restrictions, may be terminated in the following manner: (1) By agreement of owners of a majority of the square footage of land in said subdivision to terminate and end said restrictive covenants as of a definite date, provided said agreement will not be effective unless said restrictive covenants will have been established a minimum of 15 years prior to the date of termination of said restrictive covenants; and (2) Any agreement purporting to comply with this statute shall be recorded in the conveyance and mortgage records of the Parish in which the land is located.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“These covenants are to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and persons claiming under them for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the date these covenants are recorded, except as otherwise provided herein, after which time said covenants shall be automatically extended for successive periods of twenty-five (25) years unless an instrument signed by two-thirds of the then owners of the lots has been recorded, agreeing to change said covenants in whole or in part as provided for herein (emphasis added).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Kauffman v. Roling“the statute [is] inapplicable because provision is made in the covenants for terminating the effective date of the restriction. A termination date is not necessary.”
