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 105 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is manifest to our hierarchical judicial system that this court has the final say on matters of Connecticut law and that the Appellate Court ... [is] bound by our precedent.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he argument in favor of legislative acquiescence is particularly weak because the legislative acquiescence doctrine requires actual acquiescence on the part of the legislature. [Thus] [I]n most of our prior cases, we have employed the doctrine not simply because of legislative inaction, but because the legislature affirmatively amended the statute subsequent to a judicial or administrative interpretation, but chose not to amend the specific provision of the statute at issue. ... In other words, [l]egislative concurrence is particularly strong [when] the legislature makes unrelated amendments in the same statute.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“sound principles of judicial restraint and judicial economy counsel [an appellate court] to resolve only those issues that are necessary to the proper determination of [an] appeal”
