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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The measure of damages for tortious injury to property is ‘the amount which will compensate for all the detriment proximately caused thereby . . . .’ (Civ. Code, § 3333.) There is no fixed rule for the measure of such damages. [Citation.] One measure is the difference between the value of the property before and after the injury. However, an alternative measure is the cost of restoring the property to its condition prior to the injury. [Citation.] Whatever measure is the most appropriate to compensate the injured party for the loss sustained in the particular case is the one which should be adopted. [Citation.] “Here, there is no impediment to replacing the orange trees and, considering the small portion of the grove which was damaged, it is reasonable to do so. Thus, the cost of restoring the grove is the most appropriate measure of damages in this case. The orange trees are valuable only because they produce valuable fruit, and their worth is a proper method of determining the damage to the grove. [Citation.]” ( 190 Cal.App.3d at p. 1137 .)”
