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

1. “"Following the reasoning of the defendants, a purchaser must hope for rain on the day of the act of sale, or within three (3) days thereafter, because if a leak does not manifest itself at that time, then the buyer will be precluded from bringing an action in quanti minoris or redhibition at a later time. This is not the law in Louisiana. In Hunter v. Wilson, 355 So.2d 39 (La.App. 3d Cir.1978), the plaintiffs were compensated for a leak that did not manifest itself until two or three weeks after the act of sale."”
