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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) there was a denial of economically viable use of the property as a result of the regulatory imposition; (2) the property owner had distinct investment-backed expectations; and (3) it was an interest vested in the owner, as a matter of state property law, and not within the power of the state to regulate under common law nuisance doctrine.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“(11) Navigation: Shallow water depths that already exist in the proposed project area have limited boating activities to shallow draft vessels. Therefore, other than the elimination of 48.4 acres of navigable waters, the project should not have a significant adverse impact on navigation, in general. (13) Recreation: The proposed project would eliminate an open water area of 48.4 acres currently utilized by recreational (as well as commercial) fishermen and boating enthusiasts, not to mention the scores of residents, educators, students, bird-watchers, and others who enjoy the fish, wildlife, and flora resources of the area.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The trial court concluded that, without development of the 49.3 acres of submerged land, the 1.4 acres of adjoining wetlands would be of little, if any, value. Upon full examination of the record, we see no error in that conclusion. If there is a taking by the Government of the 49.3 acres, then there also must be a taking of the adjoining wetlands as well, and PBIA will be entitled to compensation therefor; if there is no taking because of the navigational servitude, the developmental value of the adjacent wetlands strip standing alone would be at most nominal — the attorney for PBIA admitted as much in oral argument — and in any event PBIA has failed to establish that no other uses are available to it.”
