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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In providing that a husband would be regarded as ‘living with’ his wife if there were a long-outstanding, but unobeyed court order for him to support her, the Act went beyond the ordinary meaning of the phrase. I would be going much further than that if I were to rule that it was enough for the plaintiff to show, in a separate proceeding, that though the court did, not do so, it could have ordered such support.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
