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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The real and true consideration to support a contractual obligation may always be shown by parol evidence, even though the consideration may be different than that expressed in the act, Cleveland v. Westmoreland, 191 La. 863 , 186 So. 593 ; Dartez v. Meaux, La.App. 1 Cir., 44 So.2d 147 , see also Hebert v. Lazarus `Some Problems Regarding Price in the Louisiana Law of Sales' 4 La.Law Review 378, 388-396, although such parol evidence might not be admissible to defeat the validity of the contract.”
