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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The party claiming these damages bears the burden of proving its losses with reasonable certainty. While the reasonable certainty standard requires something more than “hypothetical or speculative forecasts,” it does not require absolute certainty. And, “[w]hile the amount of damages is ordinarily a question of fact, the proper standard with which to measure those damages is a question of law. Such questions are, therefore, fully reviewable by this Court.””
