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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This enlarged waiver is a part of a pattern to foster and encourage a ready access to the information necessary to speedily process workers' compensation claims. Informality is in everyone's interest because in workers' compensation cases, unlike ordinary cases, liability is almost never an issue. The only question is the condition of the injured worker. Because of the narrow scope of inquiry the possibility of revealing extraneous evidence is lower in workers' compensation cases than in ordinary ones. The system is designed to be essentially nonadversarial. Whatever its faults, real or imagined, the system presupposes that all workers will benefit more if claims are processed routinely and paid quickly. Most of them are. It would be inimical to this system for the courts to force on the commissioner the rule which Darlene urges.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A court's role on judicial review of administrative proceedings is closely and strictly circumscribed. Public interest demands that judicial hands must be kept off administrative judgment calls. The district court's role, and our own, is limited by Iowa Code section 17A.19 (1987). * * * * * * In order to succeed in challenging agency action the petitioner must demonstrate prejudice to substantial rights and the prejudice must arise from agency action which falls within one or more grounds enumerated in section 17A.19(8). [] We must affirm the agency on its finding of facts unless the findings are unsupported by substantial evidence. []”
