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.
““It is not the policy of this Court to reverse decrees unless convinced that they are unfair and inequitable. In Moore v. Moore, 231 Mich. 209, at 210 , Justice Fellows said: “ ‘We hear chancery cases de novo, but we do not, and should not, reverse decrees unless we are persuaded they are not in accord with the just rights of the parties.’ Van Nest v. Van Nest, 266 Mich. 34 ."”
