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 90 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he original complaint clearly gave defendant notice that he would be held for all acts of negligence.... [D]efendant was bound to realize that he would be held for every possible act of mismanagement.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Where the amount for which recovery is sought, even though not liquidated, is based upon the readily ascertainable value of services or property, the general and better considered rule is to allow interest, at least in the absence of strong equities to the contrary.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Under the general rule, to which New York has apparently adhered, notwithstanding the provisions that the cause accrues only upon discovery of the facts, the prescriptive period ordinarily runs from the time alleged wrongs are committed. But the statute is tolled while the corporate plaintiff continues under the domination of the wrongdoers.”
