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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) that he has in fact been deprived of a chance for successful treatment and (2) that the decreased chance for successful treatment more likely than not resulted from the defendant's negligence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The purpose of [a pleading] is to limit the issues to be decided at the trial of a case and is calculated to prevent surprise.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The principle that a [party] may rely only upon what he has alleged is basic. . . . It is fundamental in our law that the right of a [party] to recover is limited to the allegations of his [pleading]. What is in issue is determined by the pleadings and these must be in writing. Once the pleadings have been filed, the evidence proffered must be relevant to the issues raised therein. A judgment upon an issue not pleaded would not merely be erroneous, but it would be void.”
