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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The application by the employer, the group policy issued, and the application of the individual employees constitute the entire contract between the parties, 3 C.L.1929, § 12435 (Mich.Stat.Ann. § 24.271), supra. Insurance contracts are subject to statutory regulations and provisions of the statutes must be read into the contract. Galkin v. Lincoln Mutual Casualty Co., 279 Mich. 327 , 272 N.W. 694 . The certificate issued by the employer to the employee is not a part of a group insurance contract and cannot be relied upon as establishing any contractual rights.””
