- sale per aversionem
- As defined by the Civil Code of Louisiana, -a sale of land "from one fixed boundary to another fixed boundary, when the object is designated by the adjoining tenements." A sale by measurement is not such a sale. Minor v Daspit, 128 La 33, 38, 54 S 413. To constitute such a sale, there must be certain limits, or a distinct object described, as a field enclosed, or an island, because it is presumed that the parties have their attention fixed rather on the boundaries than the enumeration of the quantity. State v Buck, 46 La Ann 656, 670, 15 So 531.
