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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Rule 56 clearly contemplates a full hearing on the question 'of damages. * * ' * If the court determines that defendant’s violation was-wilful, it need not-necessarily grant treble damages, but it may grant damages in any amount not more than three times the overcharges.' The amount of the damages for a wilful violation under the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942 is a matter within the court’s discretion.” '”
