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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining whether the circumstances are sufficient to disclose implied knowledge of such probability, an external standard is applied. In Stacey v. Hayes, 31 Cal.App.2d 422 [ 88 P.2d 165 ], one of the authorities relied on by defendants, the court said at page 426, 'The probability of injury to the guest from such act or omission must have been an apparent consequence to a man of ordinary prudence and intelligence'.”
