Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“read[ ] the statute as a whole to ensure that no word, clause, sentence or phrase is rendered surplusage, superfluous, meaningless or nugatory.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“But even when the language is unambiguous, it is useful to review legislative history of the statute to confirm that interpretation and to eliminate another version of legislative intent alleged to be latent in the language.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Reger [ v. Washington Ctny. Bd. of Ed. ], 455 Md. [68,] 96 [ 166 A.3d 142 ] [ (2017) ] (quoting Phillips [ v. State ], 451 Md. [180,] 196 [ 152 A.3d 712 ] [ (2017) ] ). The key extrinsic source for purposes of confirming the legislative intent is often the legislative history of the pertinent statutes. See State v. Roshchin , 446 Md. 128 , 140 [ 130 A.3d 453 ] (2016) (”
