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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Beneficial ownership carries with it liability for damages which arise from an automobile’s negligent operation. Wum-mer’s employee had sole possession of the auto. Wummer saw it for the first time after the accident occurred. She was not the beneficial owner of the Ca-maro. Accordingly, we reverse the order granting Lowary’s and denying Wummer’s motion for summary judgment.”
