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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * As a general rule, where a person has, with knowledge of the facts, acting or conducting himself in a particular manner or asserting a particular claim, title or right, he cannot afterward assume a position inconsistent therewith to the prejudice of one who has acted in reliance on such conduct. However, to constitute an estop-pel, the party against whom an estoppel is claimed must have done some act or pursued some course of conduct with knowledge of the facts and of his rights, and, in addition, it is essential that the party claiming the estoppel should have been misled to his prejudice. * * * ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Taylor v. Turner, La.App., 45 So.2d 107 , 110 states: “The rule is almost, if not invariable, that to sustain a plea of estoppel two essential facts must be well established, viz.: “1. The party against whom the plea is leveled must have knowingly, orally or in writing, asserted as true, facts that were not true, and “2. The proponent of the plea must have had knowledge of said assertions and, in good faith, acted thereupon and/or changed his position with respect to the matter involved, to his loss, injury or detriment.””
