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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... But if such right was created we must look to the statute to see if the remedy or penalty for a violation is provided. If it is, that remedy is exclusive. ...”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The plain meaning of this section is that every person is entitled to a certain remedy for "all injuries or wrongs which he may receive in his person." Notice that the wording is in the disjunctive. The way I read this clause, it means that even assuming only one injury, if that injury was brought about by separate wrongs against the person, that person is entitled to a remedy for each "wrong."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“... that the measures already taken by the industrial commission provide the entire remedy given by law in the premises [violation of Fair Employment Code, sec. 111.31 to sec. 111.36, Stats.] and their complaint did not state a cause of action which the trial court had jurisdiction to entertain.”
