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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is elementary that no damages can be awarded on account of the wrongful issuance of any conservatory writ, unless the writ is dissolved on a motion tried separately from the merits. It is a question as to whether a temporary restraining order can be characterized as a conservatory writ, the dissolution of which by motion would entitle the defendant to damages. But, be that as it may, it is certainly true that, if damages can be awarded for the dissolution of. the temporary restraining order, this dissolution must take place while the restraining order is in effect.””
