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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The pertinent law is thus stated in Decker v. Kulesza, 369 Pa. 259, 263 , 85 A. 2d 413 : `While an award of a new trial is an inherent power of the court and its exercise a matter of discretion, the discretion is not an absolute one and it is the duty of this Court to review and determine whether there has been an abuse of discretion: Jones v. Williams, 358 Pa. 559 , 58 A. 2d 57 ; Martin v. Arnold, 366 Pa. 128 , 77 A. 2d 99 ; Steward v. Ray, 366 Pa. 134 , 76 A. 2d 628 .'”
