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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff argues that the room constituted a defect in the premises because it was dark and it was accessible from the washateria area. The mere existence of a dark room, accessible from an area open to the public does not constitute a defect exposing an owner to strict liability under La.C.C. art. 2322. Further, the room was not a legal cause of plaintiff's harm; the existence and accessibility of the room did not cause Herbert to rape plaintiff.”
