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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The ordinance's provision for the Board's discretionary approval or disapproval of the landfill is invalid. ... The DeKalb County Ordinance sets forth no criteria by which the Board might exercise its discretion in approving or disapproving the landfill. The Board's refusal to approve the landfill constitutes an act of discretion without any articulable, objective ground of support[.] ... Because he had a clear legal right to the Board's approval of his landfill, the trial court erred by denying [the appellant's] petition for mandamus.”
