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.
“[A]n employee is entitled to compensation until there is a finding that he is no longer entitled to it, was implemented by providing for the continuation of the employee’s compensation during the pendency of the proceedings to be paid out of the Fund. The legislative purpose was to assure continued compensation to the injured employee until he is found not to be entitled to receive it, and the burden of bearing the cost of such compensation if the employee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to it was placed upon the Fund. Of course, it provided for reimbursement to the Fund by the employer if it is ultimately determined that the employee is still entitled to compensation. 21”
