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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In order to determine whether a defect is apparent by a simple inspection the courts have used a reasonable standard which is discussed Pursell v. Kelly, 152 So.2d 36 (La.1963) at p. 41. `The proper test to be applied to this case, we think, as in all other cases of this kind, is whether a reasonably prudent buyer acting under similar circumstances, would have discovered the presence of termite damage in the premises.' "In Fraser v. Ameling, 277 So.2d 633 (La.1973), the Supreme Court reaffirmed the reasonable man standard but explained that while an inspection connotes more than a casual observation the buyer need not inspect with expertise or `deface' the thing purchased while inspecting it."”
