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.
“it was error to permit the Simmonses to amend their original claims [in CL93-3542] to increase the damages sought to amounts in excess of the jurisdictional limits of the general district court. Because the . circuit court was without jurisdiction to consider the amended claims, the trial and verdict on that pleading are nullities.”
