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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t must be pointed out that the pretrial offer of settlement by the defendant, as authorized by the carrier, was conditional upon the plaintiff executing “releases” and “a certificate showing that the lawsuit ... ha[d] been settled and discontinued.” Absent a condition upon which a party has the right to insist and to which the other party cannot reasonably object, such a tender has been considered invalid.”
