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 85 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he right of action to recover damages for injuries shall never be abrogated, and the amount recovered shall not be subject to any statutory limitation.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Importantly, the EPA does not preclude recovery of compensatory damages under federal law within parameters authorized by Title VII[,] nor does it preclude wrongfully terminated employees from pursuing collateral common law tort claims related to discharge from employment, including intentional infliction of emotional distress[,] negligent infliction of emotional distress [,] interference with contractual relations[,] or defamation .... In sum, while the EPA precludes petitioners’ ACRA-based claims for compensatory and punitive damages for tortious wrongful discharge, a panalopy of constitutionally protected common law tort remedies remains undisturbed as fully beyond the scope of the EPA.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The legislature has now filled the void identified by Broomfield with the exclusive remedies provision of the EPA which states, in the simplest terms, that since ACRA provides its own remedy for wrongful termination, such remedy becomes the exclusive remedy for an ACRA violation. As a consequence, Broomfield is no longer controlling authority because it has been mooted by the legislature, virtually at the invitation of the authoring court.”
