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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiffs as liquidators, can sue the corporate officers and directors of [the holding company] for breach of fiduciary duties to [the holding company]. This is a direct action under both Florida and Bahamian law [against defendants ... [who] are allegedly directors and officers of [the holding company] itself. The [holding company] through its liquidator, has a direct claim for relief against the defendants ... for their alleged breach of fiduciary duties to [the holding company].”
