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 185 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Ultimately, the trier of fact has (1) the discretion to award attorney fees or not award attorney fees and (2) the discretion to decide on evidence showing the reasonableness of the time spent on the matter and the hourly rate. A trial court may believe all, part, or none of the testimony of any witness who appears before it.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The trial court is entitled to make its own determination as to the weight of the evidence and, more important, credibility of the witnesses because it is in the best position to observe the witnesses' gestures and voice inflections.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“`passive nondisclosure' but does not shield the seller from an `active' fraud or commission (as opposed to a fraud of omission), i.e., a misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment.”
