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

  2. “[B]ased on the facts alleged in the third amended complaint, [the plaintiff] had knowledge of facts sufficient to constitute, at least, inquiry notice for purposes of the statute of limitations as of October 1, 2002, when he took title to the property. In the third amended complaint, concerning Farm Road’s access to Gold Mine Road, as stated earlier, [the plaintiff] acknowledges two important dates: 1994— when the Dellabrooke subdivision was initially approved, and 2001—when Plat 21707 was recorded. By stating in the third amended complaint that the northward access of Farm Road to Gold Mine Road been “permanently cut” in 1994 and access to Gold Mine Road was prohibited in 2001, [the plaintiff], in effect, acknowledged that he “reasonably should have known” or with diligent investigation could have known at the time he purchased the property that he could not use Farm Road to access Gold Mine Road.”
