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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our task on appeal from a jury verdict is to determine if there was substantial, competent evidence to support the verdict. ... The substantial evidence test also applies to an appeal from a denial of a motion for judgment n.o.v. ... In reviewing the evidence, we must view it in a light most favorable to the respondent. ... Only when the findings of the trier of fact are clearly erroneous will the verdict be set aside. ... A finding of the trier of fact will be set aside only if there is no substantial evidence to support it. Spanbauer v. J.R. Simplot Co., 107 Idaho 42, 44 , 685 P.2d 271, 273 (1984) (citations omitted).”
