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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In brief Deville attempts to raise for the first time an alternative claim in quantum meruit. To state a cause of action for unjust enrichment, plaintiff must allege (1) an enrichment; (2) an impoverishment; (3) a connection between the enrichment and impoverishment; (4) an absence of justification for the enrichment or impoverishment; and (5) the absence of any other remedy at law. Marceaux v. Town of Lake Arthur, 392 So.2d 783 (La.App. 3rd Cir. 1980). Deville sued solely under allegations of contract, therefore, this issue can not be raised for the first time on appeal. See Josey v. Howard Lumber & Supply Company, 232 So.2d 119 (La. App. 2nd Cir.1970). Accordingly, we will not consider this issue."”
