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.
“A deliberate refusal to comply with an employer’s rule or demand ordinarily constitutes willful misconduct. Strohecker v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 33 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 526 , 382 A.2d 160 (1978). A violation of the rule or demand is not willful misconduct, however, if the evidence shows that the employee’s action was justifiable and reasonable in light of all the circumstances and was thus taken with good cause. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review v. Iacano, 30 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 51 , 357 A.2d 239 (1976).”
