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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is noteworthy . . . that, while the unclean hands defense was raised as one of several defenses to the action, it was not adopted by the trial Court. . . . As the trial Court did not speak to this issue, we are unable at this point to focus our attention thereon.”
