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. ““Under the provisions of LSA-R.S. 23:1634(B) 1 our judicial review must be confined to questions of law. The findings of fact of the Board of Review are conclusive if supported by sufficient evidence and in the absence of fraud. Cox v. Lockwood, 373 So.2d 246 (La.App. 4th Cir.1979); Washington v. Summit, 457 So.2d 50 (La. App. 4th Cir.1984). Our review does not entail the weighing of evidence, drawing of inferences, re-evaluation of evidence or substituting the views of this court for those of the Board of [RJeview as to the correctness of the facts. Washington, supra, at 52 . However, there must be legal and competent evidence to support the factual findings on which the administrative determination turns. Banks v. Administrator of Dept. of Employment Security, 393 So.2d 696 (La.1981). Moreover, if the determination made does not meet ‘a threshold test of reasonableness,’ it is erroneous as a matter of law. Banks, supra, at 699 .””
