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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““La.R.S. 23:632 is a penal statute which must be strictly construed. In order for an employee to recover penalty wages, the employer must be found to have acted in bad faith or in an arbitrary or unreasonable manner. Blankenship v. Southern Beverage Co., 520 So.2d 440 (La.App. 1st Cir.) writ granted but subsequently dismissed on joint motion of parties, 522 So.2d 574 (1988). Penalty wages are not to be absolutely imposed when the facts indicate there is an equitable defense. Pearce v. Austin, 465 So.2d 868 (La.App. 2d Cir.1985); Mondy v. Robin Towing Corp., 441 So.2d 361 (La.App. 5th Cir.1983). Where the amount owed the employee is the subject of a bona fide dispute, the courts will not consider the failure to pay as an arbitrary refusal and will refuse to award penalties. Jones v. Hebert & LeBlanc, Inc., 499 So.2d 1107 (La.App. 3d Cir.1986); Pearce v. Austin, 465 So.2d at 873 .””
