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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This exception to the compulsory counterclaim requirement necessarily encompasses a claim that depends upon the outcome of some other lawsuit and thus does not come into existence until the action upon which it is based has terminated. ... However, a counterclaim will not be denied treatment as a compulsory counterclaim solely because recovery on it depends on the outcome of the main action. This approach seems sound when the counterclaim is based on pre-action events and only the right to relief depends upon the outcome of the main action.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] judicial declaration that the waiver created a promise that Lord would indemnify Chew against any judgment entered in the Nevada action did not depend on the outcome of the Nevada action. Such a declaratory claim will not be denied treatment as a compulsory counterclaim solely because recovery on a judgment depends on the outcome of the main action.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a]t that time, [Chew] had already incurred legal costs associated with defending the Nevada action.”
