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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]o permit Davani to maintain the present action would be to allow him to seek the same remedy on the same cause of action that the ALJ decided adversely to him and the Fairfax Circuit Court reviewed and held was not contrary to law. Under Virginia law, Davani may not bring successive suits on the same cause of action where each suit addresses only part of a claim.”
