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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““50-1324. Disqualification for benefits. — An individual shall be disqualified for benefits: A. If the commissioner finds that he has left his most-recent work voluntarily without good cause connected with his work, such disqualification shall be for the duration of the ensuing period of unemployment and until he has secured subsequent employment covered by an unemployment compensation law of this state, or another state, or of the United States, and earned thereby five (5) times his weekly benefit amount. No disqualification shall be made hereunder, however, if such individual presents evidence supported by competent medical proof that he was forced to leave his most recent work because he was sick or disabled and notified his employer of that fact as soon as it was reasonably practical to do so, and returned to that employer and offered himself for work as soon as he was again able to work, and to perform his former duties. Neither shall this disqualification apply to an individual who left his work in good faith to join the armed forces of the United States.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Thach v. Scott · Cooper v. Burson““[W]e need not find that its [the Board’s] construction is the only reasonable one or even that it is the result we would have reached had the question arisen in the first instance in judicial proceedings. The ‘reviewing court’s function is limited’'. All that is needed to support the commission’s interpretation is that it has ‘warrant in the record’ and a ‘reasonable basis in law’.” 217 Tenn., at 674 , 400 S.W.2d 240 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““(1) The disqualifying provision of the statute under consideration is that a claimant will be eligible for unemployment insurance unless, 'he has left his most recent work voluntarily without cause connected with his work.’ We think it is reasonable to say this means that the connection with employment must be one of cause and effect in cases of illness or disability. That is to say, a causal connection between the employment and the illness or disability is required.””
