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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he trial court should exercise its discretion in such manner as to safeguard the interests of both parties and it may be improvident for it to, grant a preliminary injunction which permits the plaintiff to obtain an undue advantage by acting while the hands of his adversary are tied by the writ, or where the preliminary injunction gives the plaintiff essentially all the actual advantage which could be obtained from a final adjudication.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““A court of chancery should ‘ * * * regard the comparative injury which would be sustained by the defendant, if an injunction were granted, and by the complainant, if it were refused. * * * And if the legal right is doubtful, either in point of law or of fact, the court is always reluctant to take a course which may result in material injury to either party ;###'#*# “Taking all the circumstances into consideration, including the fact that the only grounds for granting the injunction were to be found in the unsupported, contradicted and impeached affidavit of plaintiff, we do not think it can be said that plaintiff had established his right to the relief sought so clearly as to be reasonably free from doubt, so as to warrant an injunction prior to trial.””
