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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court is empowered to modify a penalty if it makes findings of fact and conclusions of law which are different from those of an administrative agency. However, when that court finds that the party charged has committed the violation for which the penalty was imposed, it is a manifest abuse of discretion for it to modify the penalty because it disagrees with it. It ‘may not, because of the possible unfairness or inequity of the result, reverse the [Department] or modify the penalties imposed.’”
