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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Third-party defendant cites a number of cases in support of the proposition that no liability can accrue on the third-party complaint unless and until the original defendant is held liable to the original plaintiff. E.g., Glenns Falls Indent. Co. v. Atlantic Bldg. Cory., 199 F.2d 60 (4th Cir.1952). We have no argument with this principle but observe that it is inapplicable since the judgment in the instant case is predicated not upon the third-party complaint, but upon the claim by plaintiff against third-party defendant in the amendment to the original complaint.””
