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.
“Every contract or agreement or provision thereof, by which anyone is restrained from exercising a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind, except as provided in this Section shall be null and void. However, every contract or agreement, or provision thereof, which meets the exceptions as provided in this Section, shall be enforceable.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Non-Competition. Employee agrees to refrain from carrying on or engaging in a wholesale gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, lubricants, or other bulk fuel and petroleum products supply, storage, or service business similar to that of the Company and from soliciting customers of the Company within the parishes and counties listed in Appendix A of this agreement, so long as the Company carries on a like business therein, for a period of two (2) years after termination of employment. If Employee becomes employed by a competing business, regardless of whether or not Employee is an owner or equity interest holder of that competing business, Employee shall be deemed to be carrying on or engaging in a business similar to that of the Company. The parties ^acknowledge, agree, and stipulate that the Company currently carries on the business specified above in each of the parishes and counties listed in Appendix A of this Agreement.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“This policy is based on the State’s desire to prevent an individual from contractually being deprived of an ability to support him or herself and consequently becoming a public burden. Such agreements are in derogation of the common right and must be strictly construed against the party seeking their enforcement. La. R.S. 23:921 provides limited instances in which a contract can restrict the exercise of a lawful profession. That statute must also be strictly construed, since it is an exception to Louisiana public policy against such contracts. Id. Louisiana courts have made no distinction between non-compete and non-solicitation clauses when interpreting La. R.S. 23:921.”
