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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... the right of claimants as such property owners to compensation is measured and ascertained not by the value of the easements separate and without reference to the dominant tenement to which they are attached, but by the damage which the dominant tenement sustained as a result and as a consequence of their loss. It follows that in making an award where easements are taken or interfered with to such an extent that in a legal sense they are taken, there would be no compensation for the easements taken beyond a nominal sum, and the right of claimants to recover would rest chiefly upon proof of consequential damages; that is, the real injury, if any, suffered by the landowner in any particular case of the appropriation of property in the form of an easement lies in the effect produced upon the land to which the easement appropriated was appurtenant." (Emphasis added).”
