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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When asked to further expand the scope of the tort action beyond Workers’ Compensation and “whistle-blower” related charges, ... our supreme court has drawn the line and denied plaintiffs’ retaliatory discharge causes of action. Likewise our appellate court has refused to countenance an expansion of the tort by denying claims of retaliatory discharge brought on grounds outside of those approved in Kelsay and Palmateer.”
