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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We have held the trial court’s determination about whether a conversion has been committed is a finding of fact which will not be overturned on appeal unless it is clearly erroneous.”.... Our Court has held that “[cjonversion consists of a tortious detention or destruction of personal property, or a wrongful exercise of dominion or control over the property inconsistent with or in defiance of the rights of the owner.” “The gist of a conversion is not in acquiring the complainant’s property, but in -wrongfully depriving him of it, whether temporarily or permanently, and it is of little relevance that the converter received no benefit from such deprivation.” Conversion does not require bad intent on the part of the converter, but only an intent to control or interfere with an owner’s rights to use to an actionable degree.”

2. “`We do not reweigh evidence or reassess credibility, nor do we reexamine findings of fact made upon conflicting testimony. We give due regard to the trial court's opportunity to assess the credibility of the witnesses, and the court's choice between two permissible views of the evidence is not clearly erroneous.'”
