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.
“Defamation occurs when there is a publication of a defamatory statement to a third party. There is no publication when a defamatory communication occurs between persons within a corporate entity who have a duty and interest in the subject. Chalkley v. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co., 150 Va. 301, 334 (1928); Montgomery Ward v. Nance, 165 Va. 363, 378-79 (1935). Additionally, no publication occurs when the communication, which regards a matter of corporate interest, remains entirely within a corporate entity. 12A Michie’s Jurisprudence of Virginia and West Virginia, Libel and Slander, § 12 (1989). See also Moore v. American Express, 663 F. Supp. 97, 98 (S.D. W. Va. 1987); Mutafis v. Erie Ins. Exch., 561 F. Supp. 192, 195 (N.D. W. Va. 1983).”
