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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t was the function of the court, in acting on the report and supplemental report, to determine whether the committee had materially erred in his rulings or whether by reason of material corrections in his findings the basis of the report was subverted or whether other sufficient reason existed why the report should not be accepted and, if no such reason for rejecting or recommitting the report existed, to render such judgment as the law required upon the facts in the report. Practice Book § 176. The committee's evident rulings which are assigned as error merely limited the inquiry at the second hearing to the issues on which the court recommitted the report. The rulings were correct. The record is devoid of any indication that the committee misapplied the rules governing the burden of proof. There is nothing in the record to indicate that such of the thirty propositions of textbook law made before the committee as were applicable were not properly applied. The real issue before the committee was one of credibility. That was an issue for the committee to determine.”
