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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This holding alone, however, is not determinative of the action. As we held in Bissonnette I, defendants also have the burden to show the extent of any impairment in order to offset that amount against their liability. .. . The proper measure of such offset is the extent to which the collateral was discharged for consideration below its actual value. Although evidence was offered on this point, the trial court failed to make findings on the extent of impairment, if any. We remand for such determination.”
