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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Cottingham had been connected with the agency for nearly five years prior to the sale, and Barham had been with the agency as an employe for a considerable length of time before his resignation; in view of this situation, we do not think it unreasonable to assume that these gentlemen were sufficiently familiar with the business of the agency and its clientele as to avoid violating the injunction. * * * So, we conclude that, if appellants exercise ordinary care to avoid violating the injunction, no occasion will arise for its violation, either wittingly or unwittingly.””

As to this it has been stated: ‘The record known in insurance circles as expira-tions is in effect a copy of the policy issued to the insured, which contains the date of issuance, name of the insured, expiration, amount, premiums, property covered and terms of insurance’.””
