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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We find it unnecessary to reach the merits of Mrs. Singer's contentions because we find that she has waived her right to advance these claims. As a general principle of law, the doctrine of waiver encompasses not only the intentional or voluntary relinquishment of a known right, but also conduct that warrants an inference of the relinquishment of a known right.... Over the past 13 years the trial court has treated the monthly support payments required by the agreement as alimony subject to judicial modification and, until the institution of the present proceedings, Mrs. Singer failed to argue that her payments were not subject to modification as a matter of law. This court is therefore warranted in inferring that Mrs. Singer's conduct throughout the long course of these post-decretal proceedings waived her defense on that ground." [citations omitted].”
