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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion for a new trial may be granted when any irregularity deprived the moving party of a fair trial. Minn.R. Civ.P. 59.01(1) (1985). A motion for a new trial, however, should be granted “ ‘cautiously and sparingly and only in the furtherance of substantial justice.’ ” Furthermore, the trial court has broad discretion in deciding whether a new trial is required. The trial court’s decision to grant or deny a motion for a new trial will not be reversed unless there was a clear abuse of discretion.”
