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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection shall yield the right of way to a vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different highway. (b) When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right. (c) The foregoing rules are modified at through highways and otherwise as hereinafter stated in this article.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Fry v. Cadle · Green v. Higbee““In testing evidence on demurrer courts consider all of the evidence as true, consider the evidence favorable to, and disregard that unfavorable to the party adducing it. They do not weigh any part of the evidence that is contradictory or any differences between portions thereof adduced on direct and cross-examination. When so considered, if there is any evidence which sustains a cause of action or defense, the demurrer must be overruled.” (Syl. If 1.)”
