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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 139. TEMPORARY PROVISION-PURCHASE OF CREDITED SERVICE. — A member may purchase not more than five years of credited service during the seventh-fifth or seventy-sixth fiscal year subject to the following conditions: A. the member has five or more years of credited service acquired as a result of personal service rendered in the employ of an affiliated public employer; B. the member reinstates all forfeited credited service; C. the purchase cost for each year of credited service purchased under the provisions of this section is an amount equal to the member’s final average salary multiplied by the sum of the member contribution rate and the employer contribution rate for the coverage plan applicable to the member; and D.the purchase cost shall be paid to the association in one payment and the member shall retire the first day of the month following payment of the purchase cost.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Courts will not add words except where necessary to make the statute conform to the obvious intent of the legislature, or to prevent its being absurd. But where the language of the legislative act is doubtful or an adherence to the literal use of words would lead to injustice, absurdity or contradiction, the statute will be construed according to its obvious spirit or reason, even though this requires the rejection of words or the substitution of others.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We fail to see how the addition of the ‘seventy-fifth ... fiscal year’ in any way affects the computation of cost to Petitioners. Inclusion of the phrase ‘seventy-fifth ... fiscal year’ might arguably have some effect on purchases of credit in that year; however, that issue is not before the court. We are only concerned with employees who purchased or attempted to purchase service credit during the 76th fiscal year.”
