Hoover Tree Farm L.L.C. v. Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C., et al., 63 So.3d 159 (La. Ct. App. 2011)

(case involves "most favored nations" clause in mineral lease agreement; trial court determined that $7.6 million payment and higher lease royalty were owed to plaintiff/lessor because of the clause which required bonus-related payment and higher royalty for lessor if original lessee or its "successors and assigns" acquired other nearby leases for higher bonus or royalty; defendant transferred undivided one-half interest in lease related to deeper zones of production, and transferee later acquired third party mineral leases for higher per-acre bonus payments and greater royalties; plaintiff sued to enforce clause; court affirmed trial court's judgment and amended it to make both co-owners responsible for money judgment).
