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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[djeclaratory judgment is not the proper vehicle to litigate an alleged statutory violation which entails criminal and civil penalties. Moreover, the [Uniform Declaratory Judgments] [A]ct does not provide for affirmative relief such as money damages. “However, although * * * [the] request for declaratory judgment * * * is inappropriate, * * * [the] cause of action for damages * * * should not have been dismissed. The joinder of claims for declaratory judgment and for money damages is permissible under the liberal provisions of Rule 18 of the Superior Court Rules of CM Procedure.” (Emphasis added.)”
