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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The undisputed evidence, in the form of notes from her treating physicians, establishes that she was physically unable to return to work after twelve weeks. Therefore, even if Defendant had properly notified her that the first twelve weeks of her leave was FMLA leave (or, as she claims, even if Defendant granted her express request for FMLA leave), she would have had to switch to Defendant’s own disability leave plan at the expiration of her FMLA leave, and upon her return she would have returned from her employer’s leave, not her FMLA leave.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“any eligible employee who takes leave under section 2612 of this title for the intended purpose of the leave shall be entitled, on return from such leave— (A) to be restored by the employer to the position of employment held by the employee when the leave commenced; or (B) to be restored to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“one that is virtually identical to the employee’s former position in terms of pay, benefits and working conditions, including privileges, perquisites and status. It must involve the same or substantially similar duties and responsibilities, which must entail substantially equivalent skill, effort, responsibility, and authority.”
