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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Moreover, summary judgment is statutorily required to further the legislative intent of “prompt judicial resolution of issues of [employer] immunity from litigation” under the workers’ compensation system when a court finds “that one or more of the facts required to be proved by the provisions of subpara-graphs (A) through (E) [of the deliberate intent statute] ... do not exist.” W.Va.Code § 23-4-2(d)(2)(iii)(B); see also Mumaw v. U.S. Silica Co., 204 W.Va. 6, 10-11 , 511 S.E.2d 117, 121-22 (1998) (a summary judgment motion made by an employer in a W. Va.Code § 23—4—2(d)(2)(ii) action is appropriate where the nonmoving party has failed to make a sufficient showing on an essential element of the case it has the burden to prove).”
