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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““A merged corporation does not by merger lose a cause of action which it had prior to the merger (Business Corporation Law § 906(b)(3)). 1 Consequently a derivative action on its behalf survives the merger [citations omitted].

Concededly if the action is representative no obstacle to suit is presented.”
