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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The permissibility of stacking had already been jurisprudentially approved prior to the 1974 session of the Louisiana Legislature. Considering the particularity with which the legislature by Act 623 of 1977, Regular Session, prohibited stacking, we must conclude that if the legislature had intended to preclude stacking by the 1974 act, that it would have so said, as it seemingly has done by Act 623 of 1977. Therefore, regardless of any possible interpretation of Act 154 of 1974, and regardless of the broadness of the language contained therein, we are of the opinion that it was not the intention of the legislature in 1974 to prohibit stacking. The public policy of Louisiana as enacted by the legislature and interpreted by the Courts provided that stacking was permissible, and any language contained in insurance policies to prohibit stacking and avoid a stated policy of the state was null and void. Thus, we now hold that any language in the instant Hartford policy intended to prohibit stacking is null and void." [3] (Emphasis ours)”
