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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On review, the findings and conclusions of the administrative agency on questions of fact shall be held to be prima facie true and correct. [Citation.] Only when the court finds the agency’s discretionary authority was exercised in an arbitrary or capricious manner or the decision is against the manifest weight of the evidence is the decision overturned. [Citation.] A reviewing court may not reweigh the evidence or make factual findings and an agency’s decision is not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence merely because the court would have decided the case differently. [Citation.] * * * In order for the circuit court to find the [administrative] decision to be against the manifest weight of the evidence, the court must determine, after reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the [agency], that no rational trier of fact could have agreed with the [agency’s] decision.””
