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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that in the absence of proof of an agency relationship, the owner of an automobile may recover for damages sustained by it in an accident to which the negligence of the operator contributed. Giglio was guilty of negligence, but his negligence cannot be imputed to Gautreaux or his insurer, since he was operating the car to serve his own interest and was not engaged upon a mission for Gautreaux either as an agent or employee.””
