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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We do consider significant in this regard the fact that the legislature [chooses] to use [a] disputed phrase.... We believe that when the legislature, in subsequent legislation, chooses to use the same disputed language as it had used in previous legislation, and where, as here, that language has been interpreted by ... an administrative agency ... the legislature may be presumed to have adopted those interpretations.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Noteworthy for present purposes is the fact that the court drew a clear distinction between a limited partnership formed under the ULPA and a registered partnership formed under the RPA. While the limited partnership lacked the two key corporate characteristics of complete limited liability for all partners and corporate-type organization (i.e., officers), the registered partnership could have both: (1) the RPA was expressly enacted to provide a form of limited partnership where all the partners could be limited partners, and (2) the RPA clearly provided for the creation of ‘official positions for the transaction of the business of the partnership.’ (Emphasis in original.)”
