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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““However, we find nothing in the provisions of the statute cited which prohibits or restricts the right of contract with respect to a policy of insurance. There is a vast difference between the enforcement of full liability against an insurer under a policy protecting an employer and the provisions of the policy agreement between insurer and insured which excepts a specific class of employees from protection thereunder. Under this circumstance we cannot hold that the statute supervenes the contractual agreement in this respect.””
