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

1. ““(A) The agency, if it has not taken possession of the property appropriated, may, at any time not later than ninety days after the final determination of the cause, abandon the proceedings. “(B) In all cases of abandonment as set forth in division (A) of this section, the court shall enter judgment against the agency for costs, including jury fees, and in favor of any owner, for the following items which have been incurred, for such amounts as the court deems just: “(1) Witness fees, including expert witness fees; “(2) Attorney fees; “(3) Other actual expenses.” Appellant is an “agency,” as that term is used in R.C. 163.21, by reason of R.C. 163.01(A), which provides: “ ‘Public agency’ means any governmental corporation, unit, organization, or officer authorized lay law to appropriate property in the courts of this state. ‘Private agency’ means any other corporation authorized by law to appropriate property in the courts of this state. ‘Agency’ includes any public agency or private agency.””
