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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An employe shall be ineligible for compensation for any week— (b)(1) In which his unemployment is due to voluntarily leaving work without cause of. a necessitous and compelling nature---- (2) In which his . . . employment is due to leaving work (I) to accompany or to join his . . . spouse in a new locality . . . Provided, however, That the provisions of this subsection (2) shall not be applicable if the employe during a substantial part of the six months either prior to such leaving or the time of filing either an application or claim for benefits was the sole or major support of his . . . family, and such work is not within a reasonable commuting distance from the new locality to which the employe has moved.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[Section 402(b)(1)], although related in purpose to Section 402(b) (2), is a basis for disqualification independent of Section 402(b)(2). The proviso to 402(b)(2) is only that 402(b)(2) shall be inapplicable if the requirements of the proviso are met; the proviso makes no reference whatsoever to 402(b)(1). Thus, the fact that 402(b)(2) is inapplicable to this case by virtue of the proviso does not render 402(b)(1) also inapplicable. (Emphasis in original; footnote omitted.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“An employe shall be ineligible for compensation for any week — (a) In which his unemployment is due to failure, without good cause, either to apply for suitable work at such time and in such manner as the department may prescribe or to accept suitable work when offered to him by the employment office or any employer. . . . (Emphasis supplied.)”
