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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The law in Louisiana is that once the project is substantially complete, then the contractor is entitled to the contract price. If corrective work is required, the owner is entitled to deduct the cost of this work from the retainage and withhold it until the work is satisfactory. However, the owner is not entitled to withhold the entire retainage (in this case over 10% of the contract price) until every minor deficiency is taken care of. He can retain only as much as reflects the cost of uncompleted work. Boydstun v. Johnson, 401 So.2d 629 (La. App. 3rd Cir.1981), writ denied 404 So.2d 1262 (La.1981). Logically, the function of the punch list is to apprise the contractor of work in need of correction. As such, it should be forthcoming at or near the time of substantial completion in order that the project may be closed out as soon as possible.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Article 2164 of the Code of Civil Procedure authorizes a claim for damages for frivolous appeal, but its provisions are penal in nature and must be strictly con strued. Appeals are favored,' and the imposition of penalties for frivolous appeal will not be granted unless they are clearly due. Damages for a frivolous appeal will not lie unless it manifestly appears that the appeal was taken solely for delay or that appealing counsel does not seriously believe in the position he advocates, even though the appeal lacks serious merit.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“After amicable demand for payment has been made on the principal and surety and thirty days have elapsed without payment being made, any claimant recovering the full amount of his recorded or sworn claim, whether by concursus proceeding or separate suit, shall be allowed ten percent attorney’s fees which shall be taxed in the judgment on the amount recovered.”
