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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (Ill.Rev.Stat. 1973, ch. I2IV2, par. 261 et seq.) is inapplicable is patent from the title of the Act: “An Act to protect consumers and borrowers and businessmen against fraud, unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce * * *.” A “consumer” is “any person who purchases or contracts for the purchase of merchandise * * *.” (Ill.Rev.Stat.1973, ch. 121%, par. 261(e).) Obviously, plaintiff and those whom he represents were not consumers.”
