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.
“if it appears to a certainty that the plaintiff would be entitled to no relief under any state of facts which could be proved in support of his claim. . . . [Cits.] A plaintiff does not have to plead in the complaint facts sufficient to set out the element of a cause of action so long as the complaint puts the opposite party on reasonable notice of what issues must be defended against; therefore, no matter how poorly a complaint has been drafted, if the complaint sufficiently raises possible theories of recovery, it should not be dismissed. [Cit.] On motion to dismiss the trial court must construe plaintiffs amended complaint most favorably for the plaintiff with all doubts resolved in his favor. [Cit.]”
