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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“merger transactions . . ., under state law, must be subjected to shareholder approval . . . if federal law ensures that shareholder approval is fairly sought and freely given, the principal federal interest is at an end,”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“assertions by a defendant that the misconduct complained of 'really' amounts to 'just' corporate mismanagement will not cut off a plaintiff's federal remedy.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In many, if not most, corporate self-dealing transactions touching securities, state law does not demand prior shareholder approval. In those situations, it makes sense'to concentrate on the impropriety of the conduct itself rather than on the “failure to disclose” it because full and fair disclosure in a real sense will rarely occur.”
