How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “Louisiana courts will not interpret the words of a contract literally when this leads to unreasonable consequences or inequitable or absurd results even when the words used in the contract are fairly explicit.”
• assertion that buyer was “in default” of purchase agreement is not defamatory per se, “especially when, as here, [the words] are employed merely to claim a deposit made as a security for contractual performance.”
