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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B]ack pay for improper dismissal should be denied where the employee was not ready, willing and able to resume his position during the period for which relief was sought. The purpose of that prerequisite ... is to insure that federal employees who are improperly dismissed will recover no more than the amount actually lost as a result of the separation. * * * If the employee was incapable of performing the work for which the pay was to be received, it follows that he has lost nothing which he would have earned but for the wrongful separation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Any person removed or suspended * * * who * * * is reinstated or restored to duty on the ground that such removal or suspension was unjustified or unwarranted, shall be paid compensation at the rate received on the date of such removal or suspension”
