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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"An award, ordinarily, concludes and binds the parties as to the merits of all matters, properly within the scope of the award and intended by the arbitrators to be finally decided. 6 C.J.S. Arbitration and Award § 95 page 240. In this case, the only restriction placed upon the powers of the arbitrators was as to the procedure and admission of evidence; in all other respects, they were vested with plenary power. "Nothing in the award relative to the merits of the controversy as submitted could justify the Court in setting aside the award, in the absence of fraud, misconduct, or other objections as set forth in the Louisiana Arbitration Act. "There is nothing in the record, made up before the arbitrators and submitted to this Court for review, which shows (a) that the award was procured by corruption, fraud or undue means; (b) that there was evident partiality or corruption on the part of the arbitrators, or either of them; (c) that the arbitrators were guilty of misconduct in refusing to postpone the hearing, upon sufficient cause shown, or in refusing to hear evidence pertinent and material to the controversy, or any other misconduct by which the rights of any party have been prejudiced; or (d) that the arbitrators exceeded their powers, or so imperfectly executed them that a mutual, final and definite award upon the subject matter submitted was not made. Section 10 of Act No. 262 of 1928 [the source provision of LSA-R.S. 9:4210]."”
