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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'[A] counterclaim, when established, must in some way qualify, or must defeat, the judgment to which the plaintiff is otherwise entitled.' The facts set up by defendant do not constitute a counterclaim or defense to the plaintiff's cause of action. The alleged counterclaim was therefore properly dismissed.”
