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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unlicensed or unregistered persons may not recover a real estate commission, fee, or compensation of any sort, regardless of the benefit they may have provided to the seller. The unlicensed or unregistered broker may not even validly contract to perform the business of a real estate broker in Louisiana. The prohibition would defeat any claim ..., be it contractual or quasi contractual, for a commission arising out of these facts. (Emphasis added; citations omitted).”
