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

1. ““Plaintiffs nevertheless neither pleaded nor proved the putting in default required both by general law, C.C. 1933, and (as to sellers’ right) the agreement itself. (Under the agreement the seller may declare the deposit forfeited ‘without formality beyond tender of title to purchase.’ [This] tender is a prerequisite even if — as the evidence may suggest— the purchaser gave some indefinite verbal indication he did not want to purchase. Schuler v. A. K. Roy, Inc., La.App.Orl. 1953, 65 So.2d 333 .) Accordingly plaintiff sellers are not entitled to declare the deposit forfeited.””
