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.

“[m]y reading of the complaint leads me to the conclusion that it may not be treated as a stockholders’ derivative action. While accounting and restitution are sought in connection with the alleged improprieties, it is clearly not an application for recovery by the corporation or all its shareholders; damages are sought only on behalf of the minority shareholders ____ Sj! ifc jfc Jfc 5}= H! While the conduct described by plaintiffs may have warranted a derivative action on behalf of the corporation, that does not foreclose these plaintiffs from suing in their own right____ Thus, the plaintiffs could have said “You cheated the corporation”; however, they are also entitled to charge “You cheated us as minority stockholders.’’”
