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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Claims Commission and its commissioners have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate all monetary claims -against the State which fall within certain specified categories as defined-by the statute. Id: §§ 5(a), 8(a), 1984 Tenn. Pub. Acts at 1028-30 (codified at Tenn.Code Ann. §§ 9-8-305(1), -307(a)); Conley vi State, 141 S.1V.3d 591, 597 (Tenn.2004); see also Tenn.Code Ann. § 20-13-102(a). The legislature did not remove immunity for all claims against the State, but only those claims specified in section 9-8-307(a). It follows then that the Claims Commission, lacks subject matter jurisdiction and has no authority to hear any claims that fall outside the categories enumerated in section 9-8307(a). Stewart [v. State, 33 S.W.3d 785, 790 (Tenn. 2000)].”

Reed, 186 Tenn. 556, 563 , 212 S.W.2d 378, 381 (1948), and -such a policy “does not authorize the amendment, alteration or extension of its ’ provisions beyond [the statute’s] obvious meaning.” Pollard v, Knox County, 886 S.W.2d 759, 760 (Tenn. 1994). Moreover, “[w]here a right of -action is dependent upon the provisions - of a statute ... we are not privileged to create such a right under the guise of a liberal interpretation of it.” Hamby v. McDaniel, 559 S.W.2d 774, 777 (Tenn.1977).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Additionally, a statute provides: No court in the state shall have any power, jurisdiction or authority to entertain any suit against the state, or against any officer of the state acting by authority of the state, with a view to reach the state, its treasury, funds or property, and all such suits shall be dismissed as to the state.... Tenn. Code Ann. § 20-13-102 (a) (2009). Both provisions clearly reserve to the General Assembly exclusive power to waive Tennessee's sovereign immunity and to prescribe the terms and conditions under which the State may be sued,”
