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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Wiggs was entitled to assume that Johnson, Western Reserve’s second largest shareholder, and Tyler, his financial ad-visor, were aware of both the acquisition of Universal ComputaData, and the “pink sheet” quotes of the stock on March 25, 1968, when Johnson made his offer to sell. The information was in the public domain. The acquisition was previously reported in the area newspapers, and on a local television station which gave financial news ... This being so, there was no duty or obligation on the part of Wiggs to disclose. He was not required to say that which had been publicly proclaimed in several ways on several occasions.”
