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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An "agent" is defined as one who acts for or in the place of another, by authority from the latter. Downs v. Delco-Light Co., 175 La. 242 , 143 So. 227 (1932); Patrick v. Patrick, 230 So.2d 759 (La.App. 2 Cir.1970). An agency relationship may be created by the parties thereto either expressly or by implication. The essential test to be applied in determining whether an implied agency exists, is whether the principal has the right to control the conduct of the agent, and whether the agent has the right and authority to represent or bind the principal. LSA-C.C. arts. 2985, et seq.; Automotive Finance Co. v. Kesk, Inc., 200 So.2d 136 (La.App. 4 Cir.1967)."”
