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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That the complaint does not state facts sufficient to entitle plaintiff to equitable relief is not a ground of demurrer under sec. 263.06, Stats. That section authorizes a demurrer when the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Under sec. 263.07 a general demurrer to a complaint cannot be sustained if the facts stated entitle the plaintiff to any measure of judicial redress, whether legal or equitable. As the facts alleged in this complaint disclose that plaintiff’s rights have been invaded, a demurrer to the complaint cannot be sustained even though it appears that she is not entitled to equitable relief.””
