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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is also contended that it was error for the court to render summary judgment against appellant-buyers’ counterclaim. The basis of the counterclaim was that the sellers’ action wrongfully injured the credit standing of the buyers. The only possible grounds for such a claim are libel and malicious prosecution, neither of which can be sustained here. There is no libel because any publication made in a judicial proceeding is privileged under R.C.M.1947 § 64-208. And malicious prosecution founded on a civil action is not the proper subject of a counterclaim since it requires proof of termination of the former proceeding in favor of the defendant therein. Baker v. Littman, 138 Cal.App.2d 510 , 292 P.2d 595 ; 54 C.J.S. Malicious Prosecution § 54, p. 1021.” (Emphasis added.) 146 Mont. at 360 , 406 P.2d at 837 .”
