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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. [T]he state’s actual knowledge of the dangerous condition; 2. reasonable reliance by persons on the state’s representations and conduct; 3. an ordinance or statute that sets forth mandatory acts clearly for the protection of a particular class of persons rather than the public as a whole; and 4. failure by the state to use due care to avoid increasing the risk of harm.”
