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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“professional's involvement after the alleged malpractice is for the performance of the same or related services and is not merely continuity of a general professional relationship.”
13 later decisions quote this exact passage“An action against a licensed attorney, his agent or employee, for malpractice, error, mistake or omission, whether based upon contract or tort, can be commenced only within three years after the alleged malpractice, error, mistake or omission shall have occurred. This section shall be prospective in application.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“Under the occurrence rule, absent an attorney's fraudulent concealment of his or her negligent advice, the statute of limitations on a claim of attorney malpractice begins to run at the time of the alleged negligence and not from the time when the negligence is discovered or the consequential damages are imposed. We are to look at what act or omission starts the clock running under the instant facts for the statute of limitations purposes.”
