These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““. . . Having found that appellee’s conduct [assault and battery] was illegal, the jury’s action in failing to assess properly established damages proximately resulting therefrom can be viewed in no other light than being capricious. “Viewed in the light of the verdict the conclusion is inevitable that the damages awarded by the jury did not cover the substantial medical expenses incurred by the appellant. It is equally clear that the damages in nowise covered any award for physical and mental pain and suffering. To affirm this verdict and judgment awarding only nominal damages for substantial damage suffered by appellant according to the great preponderance of the evidence would, we are convinced, be wrong and unjust. [Citations omitted.]””
