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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An agreement to arbitrate does not cut off a party’s access to the courts. On the contrary, an action compelled to arbitration must have the arbiter’s decision confirmed by the court. . . . The ACT [Uniform Arbitration Act, Article 45, North Carolina General Statutes §§ 1-567.1 through 1-567.20] provides parties with a means to bypass the morass of judicial litigation, while still main- taming the judicial doors ajar for recalcitrant disputes. Hence, it would appear that the legislature intended the courts to send certain predetermined issues to arbitration and then to step back until the arbitration proceeding is complete.”
