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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] declaratory judgment action will not be entertained if there is another action pending between the same parties in which the same issues are involved and may be adjudicated. In the absence of allegations showing exceptional circumstances justifying the declaratory judgment action, the complaint in that action is [vulnerable to a motion to strike] . . . . It is manifestly unwise and unnecessary to permit a new action for a declaratory judgment when the same question can be determined in the pending action. . . . Where the complaint in the declaratory judgment action discloses on its face that another adequate remedy exists, the complaint is vulnerable [to a motion to strike].”
