The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““Keeping in mind that the plaintiffs are entitled to the benefit of every reasonable inference (Levine v. City of New York, 309 N.Y. 88, 92 , 127 N.E.2d 825, 826 ), I am satisfied that there were issues of fact that required determination by the jury and, further, that the jury could well have properly concluded that the defendant was negligent and that such a finding is not contrary to the credible evidence nor was there a ‘defect of proof’ so as to permit the court to conclude, as a matter of law, that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover.””
