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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a party possesses part of an immovable by virtue of a title, he constructively possesses to the limits of his title. La. C.C. art. 3426; Winjum v. Duplantis, 393 So.2d 405 (La.App. 1st Cir.1980). However, he cannot depend on constructive possession to defeat adverse corporeal possession by another for a sufficient period of time to establish prescriptive title. Whitley v. Texaco, Inc., 434 So.2d 96 (La.App. 5th Cir.1982), writ denied, 435 So.2d 445 (La.1983). This follows from the rule that property cannot be Illegally possessed by adverse parties simultaneously, and constructive possession cannot prevail over adverse corporeal possession. Tenneco Oil Company v. Pitre, 496 So.2d 502 (La.App. 1st Cir.1986), writ denied, 497 So.2d 1388 (La.1986).”
