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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Injury is defined as: Damage or hurt to or suffered by a person or thing, detriment to, or violation of, person, character, feelings, rights, property, or interests, or the value of a thing. A synonym for injury is ‘loss.’ At law, the injury here may be classified as a civil injury, defined: (Civil injury) ‘Injuries to j)erson or property resulting from a breach of contract, delict, or criminal offense, which may be redressed by a civil action. It follows that when injury produces a loss, whether that loss is expressed by payment or obligation for payment redress for such injury (loss) survives under the South Carolina Statute and the cause of action is assignable.” Arant, at p. 148 (emphasis ours)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The conclusion is that the Fourth Circuit now frowns on the forum shopping practiced by invoking federal jurisdiction through artificial or collusive means. Whether the brows of that mighty court will, at some latter date, be furrowed by concern over forum avoidance by the same practices this court does not predict." (Italics added).”
