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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“By acquiescing in the accomplishment of the objective of the Medical Malpractice Act, by withdrawing the statutory limits from the registry of the court, plaintiff effected a release of Dr. Aubert and his insurer from further liability. It is of no moment that the Louisiana Supreme Court, in Sibley v. Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University, 477 So.2d 1094 (La.1985), held on rehearing that prohibiting malpractice judgments in excess of $500,000.00 classified individuals because of their physical condition and may be unconstitutional. Plaintiff was certainly free to raise the issue of the constitutionality of the Act prior to Sibley , and prior to accepting consideration in exchange for the settlement of a claim. 532 So.2d at 884-85.”
