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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although no reasons for judgment were assigned by the trial judge, it is clear that he accepted plaintiffs version of the accident and rejected defendants’. It is clear also that the trial judge further concluded that the sole and proximate cause of the accident was the excessive rate of speed of the [defendant’s] automobile through a crowded parking lot area where automobile [sic] move in different directions with drivers concentrating on locating parking spaces rather than on approaching automobiles. We cannot say, as we consider the testimony in this case, that the trial judge erred in his factual or legal conclusions.”
