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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Alan signed the 1979 stock certificates because Carl had incorrectly informed him that the stock was issued for the sole purpose of providing documentation for the avoidance of corporate tax liability and that the additional shares would have no bearing on the proportional interests of any of the shareholders. The trial court found that Carl admitted that he had changed the amount of the stock issue after speaking to Alan, an action that was indicative of Carl's intent to obtain what he felt he was due him despite his representations to Alan.”

2. “Carl destroyed all stock certificates issued prior to 1979. He also altered the minutes of a 1986 meeting by inserting a notation that stated that John [a third Neri brother] had been eliminated as a director. Moreover, there were no entries in the minute book CT Page 3857 for corporate meetings between February 3, 1968, and March 17, 1983. The trial court considered these actions, among others, in finding fraud on the part of Carl.”
