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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Summary disposition by the first statutory method is not proper if a material issue of fact exists. § 663A.6 (second paragraph, final sentence). [“Disposition on the pleadings and record is not proper if a material issue of fact exists.”] Thus we must determine by examining the pleadings and record before us whether any material issue of fact exists that militated the reception of evidence by trial court, as provided in section 663A.7.”
