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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Art. 3071. Compromise; definition A compromise is a contract whereby the parties, through concessions made by one or more of them, settle a dispute or an uncertainty concerning an obligation or other legal relationship. Art. 3072. Formal requirements; effects A compromise shall be made in writing or recited in open court, in which case the recitation shall be susceptible of being transcribed from the record of the proceedings. Art. 3076. Scope of the act A compromise settles only those differences that the parties clearly intended to settle, including the necessary consequences of what they express.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A compromise is valid if there is a meeting of the minds of the parties as to exactly what they intended when the compromise was reached. Walk Haydel & Associates, Inc. v. Coastal Power Production Co., 1998-0193, p. 3 (La.App. 4th Cir.9/30/98), 720 So.2d 372, 373 (citing Pat O’Brien’s Bar, Inc. v. Franco’s Cocktail Prods., Inc., 615 So.2d 429 (La.App. 4 Cir.1993), writ denied, 617 So.2d 909 (La.1993)). Indeed, a compromise is a contract. Stern v. Williams, 365 So.2d 1128 (La.App. 4th Cir.1978), writ denied, 368 So.2d 143 (La.1979).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The law requires the compromised settlement to be reduced to writing; however, “this Court has said ‘there is no sacrosanct form which must be followed’ and ‘it is not necessary that everything intended to be compromised be in one document.’ ” Walk Haydel & Associates, Inc., 1998-0193, p. 3, 720 So.2d at 374 (quoting Charbonnnet v. Ochsner, 236 So.2d 86, 88 (La.App. 4 Cir.1970), aff'd, 258 La. 507 , 246 So.2d 844 (La.1971)).”
