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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Commissions’s order must be based upon evidence presented at the hearing. Facts conceivably known to the Commission but not put in evidence will not support an order. (Rockwell Lime Co. v. Commerce Commission, 373 Ill. 309 , 26 N.E.2d 99 .) We recur to our observations in Fleming v. Commerce Commission, 388 Ill. 138 , 57 N.E.2d 384 , that a hearing before the Commission is not a partisan hearing with the Commission on one side arrayed against the utility on the other, but that it is, instead, an administrative investigation instituted for the purpose of ascertaining and making findings of fact. Here, the Commission’s action in basing its final order upon the question of notice to a Federal agency, a matter upon which no evidence was presented and which the Commission itself, for the first time, raised in its final order, was arbitrary and capricious in the extreme.” 390 Ill. 40, 46 , 60 N.E.2d 232, 235 .”
