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

  1. “Section 5 C [LSA-R.S. 30:5C] sets forth that the Commissioner can unitize, pool and consolidate ‘only after notice.’ Section 6 of Title 30 authorizes the Commissioner to prescribe rules of procedure. Rule 12 of the ‘Rules of Procedure for Conducting Hearings Before the Commissioner of Conservation,’ effective September 1, 1971, pertinently provides that ‘If the application relates to a poolwide unit, then a copy of the application shall be furnished each Interested Owner and Represented Party.’ Brown, 356 So.2d at 970 .”
