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

1. ““Real parties in interest equate the words ‘each claim’ as used in the above statute with ‘cause of action’ and contend that since there is only one cause of action, to-wit negligence, the decision of the review panel should only be in the general form illustrated in subparagraph G, no matter how many acts of medical malpractice are asserted as the basis of the lawsuit. We do not agree. Since the conclusion of the panel may be admitted into evidence, acceptance of this theory would work a deception on the jury who would thereby be misled into believing that the review panel agreed that there is merit to every act of malpractice which a plaintiff asserts at the trial. “We believe that the words ‘each claim’ as used in the statute mean each alleged act of negligence. * * *” 121 Ariz. at 397-98, 590 P.2d at 936-37.”
