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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he cyclone cylinder was but one part of an interrelated whole which makes up the waste system. Stone Container’s employees had the skill and the tools necessary to work on this equipment and had on numerous occasions made repairs to the waste system. Even if it be conceded that Stone Container did not normally repair the cyclone cylinder, it nevertheless was part of Stone’s trade, business, or occupation.” Id. at 309-10.”
