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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i] regularly issued process, either civil or criminal; [ii] intent to do harm without excuse or justification; and [iii] use of the process in a perverted manner to obtain a collateral objective. The gist of the action for abuse of process lies in the improper use of process after it is issued.”
