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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A party who has responded to a request for discovery with a response that was complete when made is under no duty to supplement his response to include information thereafter acquired, except as follows: (1) A party is under a duty seasonably to supplement his response with respect to any question directly addressed to the identity and location of persons having knowledge of discoverable matters, and the identity of each person expected to be called as an expert witness at trial, the subject matter on which he is expected to testify, and the substance of his testimony.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“great discretion in deciding whether to receive or refuse the offered testimony of witnesses and any bias must be in favor of receiving the testimony.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Although we believe LSA-C.C.P. Art. 1428 clearly required [plaintiff] to supplement his answers to the interrogatories, we conclude that the trial judge did not err when he received the testimony of these witnesses for the following reasons. We believe counsel must be charged with the responsibility of knowing the entire contents of the record, including in this instance opposing counsel’s requests for additional subpoenas to witnesses not previously disclosed. [Defendant] did not move for a continuance after [plaintiff] made this request, and waived any defect caused by omission of witnesses from the answers to the interrogatories. Also, [defendant] did not move for a continuance after he had actual knowledge immediately before trial that those witnesses would testify for [plaintiff]. This is further evidence he waived the defect in [plaintiff’s] answers.””
