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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We are not going to enter an award for salaries unless claimants have proven that they attempted to find other employment, and, if there is no showing to that effect, there will be no award made for that period of time. We will only consider their salary and earnings from other employment from the date that they started to seek employment and were gainfully employed, and we do not believe that one can sit idly by and draw a salary without attempting to seek employment in mitigation of damages.””

2. “The burden is upon Claimants to mitigate damages, and that all monies earned during the period of time from employment, but not investments, should be considered as a set-off against wages claimed because of unlawful dismissal from State employment.”
