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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was * * * the duty of Alleghany to apply for authority to divest itself of control of the C & O. If it had done so and authority had been granted, the ICC would have been bound to terminate any order which gave to the ICC authority over Alleghany based on Alleghany’s control of the C & O. Now we are told by the moving defendants that, because of Alleghany’s failure to perform its duty, it has averted the supervision by the Securities and Exchange Commission that would have resulted had it performed its duty. I cannot accept that conclusion.””
