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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If it were a fact or were now claimed that compensation had been paid or was payable by the employer, as indicated in Theby v. Wisconsin P. & L. Co. 197 Wis. 601 , 222 N. W. 826 , 223 N. W. 791 , the trial court could protect the defendant from liability for double payment by requiring as condition of payment of the judgment that the plaintiff secure a release or other appropriate instrument relieving the defendant from possibility of liability to the employer or insurance carrier.””
