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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court apparently awarded the fees on the basis that the counterclaim constituted the institution of proceedings to enforce the lease. This counterclaim was for declaratory relief. In essence, it was merely a reassertion of the affirmative defenses set forth in the answer. The defendants prevailed on their counterclaim. Defendants have not provided us with any authority to support the conclusion that this counterclaim falls within the provisions of the lease. As we view it, the counterclaim was no more than a defense to the main action attired in a different form.”
