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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An exception of no cause of action raises the question of whether the law affords a remedy to anyone based only upon the well-pleaded allegations of fact in the petition under any theory of the case. Mott v. River Parish Maintenance, Inc., 432 So.2d 827 (La.1983). The purpose is to determine the sufficiency in law of the petition. The exception is triable on the face of the papers. For the purpose of determining the issues raised by the exception, well pleaded facts in the petition and any annexed documents must be accepted as true. La.C.C.P. Art. 927; Mayer v. Valentine Sugars, Inc., 444 So.2d 618 (La.1984). An exception of no cause of action must be overruled unless the allegations of the petition exclude every reasonable hypothesis other than the premise upon which the defense is based. The plaintiff must have no cause of action under any evidence admissible under the pleadings. Darville v. Texaco, Inc., 447 So.2d 473 (La.1984).”
