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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A trial court’s grant of a summary judgment motion is proper if there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and ... the party in whose favor judgment is entered is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Maryland courts hold that a material fact is a fact the resolution of which will somehow affect the outcome of the case. Once the moving party provides the trial court with a prima facie basis in support of the motion for summary judgment, the non-moving party is obliged to produce sufficient facts admissible in evidence, if it can, demonstrating that a genuine dispute as to a material fact or facts exists. These tendered facts should be given under oath, based on the personal knowledge of an affiant. Bald, unsupported statements or conclusions of law are insufficient. If no genuine dispute of material fact is found to exist, a court then considers whether the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. On appellate review of the grant of summary judgment, we review the trial court’s conclusions of law de novo. As we consider the trial court’s conclusions of law, we construe the facts properly before the court, and any reasonable inferences that may be drawn from them, in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.””
