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.
“(1) Whether or not the board acted without or in excess of its powers; (2) The award was'procured by fraud; (3) The award was not in conformity to the provisions of KRS 44.070 to 44.-160; and (4) Whether the findings of fact support the award.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““The Board of Claims was created to provide a method for the processing of claims against the Commonwealth with a minimum of formality and delay, and, as we construe the Act, the Legislature did not intend that the courts would retry a case on conflicting facts after it has been heard by the Board. It was held in Shrader v. Commonwealth, 309 Ky. 553 , 218 S.W.2d 406 , and reaffirmed in Morrison v. Department of Highways, Ky., 252 S.W.2d 426 , that findings of fact by the Board of Claims are conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.” In Taylor v. Coblin, Ky., 461 S.W.2d 78 , we said: “If there is any substantial evidence to support the action of the administrative agency, it cannot be found to be arbitrary and will be sustained.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The Board of Claims shall have primary and exclusive jurisdiction over all negligence claims for the negligent performance of ministerial acts against the Commonwealth, any of its cabinets, departments, bureaus, or agencies, or any officers, agents, or employees thereof while acting within the scope of their employment by the Commonwealth or any of its cabinets, departments, bureaus, or agencies.”
