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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Finally, it is also not disputed that Defendants’ failure to assert their right to arbitrate until now has prejudiced Plaintiff. First and most obviously, granting Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration would eliminate the class members’ opportunity to pursue these claims as a class action. Further, Defendants’ delay in asserting their right to arbitrate has resulted in the expenditure of enormous costs by Edwards and class counsel in litigating this matter at every level of the federal judiciary over the past five years, as well as thousands of hours of attorney time. Forcing the class to arbitrate now would result in those costs being stranded. In short, there is no question that Plaintiff has “relied to [her] detriment on [Defendants’] failure” to assert their right to arbitration before now.”
