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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is our appreciation of the law that both lump sum settlement and compromise must receive court approval and both must comply strictly with the requirement of the statute. If court approval is not secured as required by the act the agreement will be regarded as a lump sum settlement made without court approval and the employer will be subjected to suit for additional compensation and penalty.” (Page 747).”
