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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  3. “In Nyman v. MacRae Bros. Constr. Co., 69 Wn.2d 285, 287 , 418 P.2d 253 (1966), citing Restatement (Second) of Agency ž 217B(2) (1958) and Restatement (Second) of Torts ž 883, comment b, illustration 4 (1939), we held that there can be no liability as a master unless the servant is liable. Therefore, under the theory of respondeat superior, the only theory asserted in trial, the State and State Patrol cannot be held liable.”
