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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““§ 63. Presumption arising from separate description of tracts forming continuous body of land A single mineral servitude is created by an act that affects a continuous body of land although individual tracts or parcels within the whole are separately described. § 64. Presumption when servitudes created on noncontiguous tracts An act creating mineral servitudes on noncontiguous tracts of land creates as many mineral servitudes as there are tracts unless the act provides for more. § 65. Division of servient estate not division of servitude The division of a tract burdened by a mineral servitude does not divide the servitude. § 66. Right of owners of contiguous tracts to create single servitude The owners of several contiguous tracts of land may establish a single mineral servitude in favor of one or more of them or of a third party. § 67. Right of co-owners to create single servitude in partition of land Co-owners of land constituting a continuous whole may partition it and reserve a single mineral servitude in favor of one or more of them.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he distinction between a mineral servitude and a mineral lease is pronounced. McCollam, A Primer for the Practice of Mineral Law under the New Louisiana Mineral Code, 50 Tul.L.Rev. 732, 785 (1976). By definition, "a mineral servitude is the right of enjoyment of land belonging to another for the purpose of exploring for and producing minerals and reducing them to possession and ownership." LSA-R.S. 31:21. "A mineral lease is a contract by which the lessee is granted the right to explore for and produce minerals." LSA-R.S. 31:114.”
