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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]f a person aggrieved by a referee’s determination could directly seek judicial review without first seeking Board review by the expedient of doing nothing until fifteen days after the referee’s determination, the Board’s quasi-judicial role in the administrative review process if not totally frustrated would be seriously proscribed at the option of the disappointed litigant. The legislature could not have intended such a result.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“is to afford finality to the referee’s determination but [that] such “deemed” finality does not vitiate one’s duty to seek Board review of the referee’s determination as an administrative remedy to be exhausted before the matter is ripe for judicial review.”
