These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In those cases, most of which involved dealings of a corporate or commercial nature, there was no express or specific criteria of a statutory nature incorporating such a ‘standard of conduct’ against which an individual’s conduct could be measured, without submitting evidence in the form of in-court testimony to a trier of fact. In the instant case, however, the Court believes that the Legislature had created an objective standard by which the good faith of a donee could be measured. The [UAGA] establishes a statutory scheme which outlines the means of effecting an anatomical gift, the classes of individuals entitled to effect such a gift, and the circumstances under which such a gift must be deemed null and void. None of the previous good faith cases have involved such a definitive standard by which to judge a defendant’s conduct.”
