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

1. ““ ‘Lands and buildings or other constructions, whether they have their foundations in the soil or not, are immovable by their nature.’ (Italics by the Court.) “There is no qualification of this rule. The law makes no distinction between buildings erected by the owner and those erected by tenants or others. If they are erected on the land, they are immovable by their nature. “There are also things which are immovable by their destination, as: “ ‘Things which the owner of a tract of land has placed upon it for its service and improvement.’ Civil Code, art. 468. “Under this article things become immovable by destination only when placed thereon by the owner of the soil. “But the provisions of the Code, Article 464, with reference to things immovable by their nature, does not state that they shall be placed on the soil by the owner thereof. “It therefore follows that a building placed upon leased premises by the lessee is an immovable under Article 464 of the Code.””
