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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘[A]n order denying a motion for summary judgment will not be reversed until it appears that the trial court abused its legal discretion or has not exercised it;’ ... a trial court does not abuse its discretion in denying a motion for summary judgment ‘unless it incorrectly decides a legal issue or it declines to decide a legal issue which is capable of resolution in a factual vacuum.’ ‘If the party opposing the motion for summary judgment submits sufficient facts which show there is a real controversy and takes the matter challenged by the motion out of the category of being a sham and unmeritorious suit or defense, that party is entitled to a trial on the merits.’ It has also been said that, ‘A trial court need not decide a question of law on a motion for summary judgment . . . even though no conflict of material fact exists. There is no absolute right to summary judgment.’ ” (footnotes omitted).”
