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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Holcombe’s] earnings should be determined on a quarterly basis from the time he commenced operation[ ] [of the sole proprietorship]. The average weekly wage should be based on the net taxable income reported by the business for federal income tax purposes. This figure will, of course, include all allowable expenses, including, but not limited to, depreciation and interest. Inasmuch as this is a sole proprietorship, any draws or salary paid to, or on behalf of, [Holcombe] from the business is included as taxable income. Upon determination of [Holcombe’s] net taxable income for each quarter, that number should be divided by the appropriate number of weeks in that quarter.... [Holcombe’s] net taxable income can be calculated at the end of each quarter. In this regard he should make available to the employer ... all books and records of the sole proprietorship so that income and expenses may be verified.”
