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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a case like this, where the compensation is fixed by the board of directors, who also are a majority of the stockholders, it does not devolve upon the director whose compensation is in question to prove that the compensation is fair; hut the objecting stockholder must establish affirmatively that the salary or compensation is unreasonable and oppressive.””
