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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he General Assembly, by using the word ‘promptly’ without defining it further in the litigation, intended that the courts should give it effect in the light of the facts and circumstances in each case .... In this way, the State was not placed in a ‘straight jacket,’ as it were, of a designated time for filing the forfeiture petition; and, at the same time, the possible impairment of a claimant’s right to due process of law by an unreasonable delay in the institution of forfeiture proceedings was avoided.” 270 Md. at 247 , 310 A.2d at 772 .”
