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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellants would have us believe that it is of great moment that the arbitration award was rendered six days later than specified in the arbitration agree ment. Had the arbitration clause provided that time was of the essence in the arbitration process we might agree with the appellants; however, there was no agreement by the parties that a late award would nullify the whole arbitration proceedings and we see no reason to set aside an otherwise exemplary decision for a de minimis delay. A fair reading of the cases indicates that in instances when an arbitration award is delayed, courts must apply a rule of reason. The threshold question then becomes whether the party raising the delay issue has been prejudiced by the delay.”
