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 90 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “unless for some reason peculiar to an individual case such an award of interest would do an injustice.”
    12 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. W.O.M. v. Willys-Overland Motors, Unpublished Decision (12-29-2006) · Shaw v. State, Department of Administration
  2. “[i]f C wins his judgment a year later than does B and does not get prejudgment interest for the year, C recovers less than B for the same injury; . . . . Only by awarding pre judgment interest from the time the cause of action accrues, when a plaintiff is entitled to be made whole, can the sort of injustice which happened to C . . .be avoided.”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. Navistar International Transportation Corp. v. Pleasant · In Re Air Crash Disaster Near Chicago, Ill., Etc.
  3. “[F]ailure to award prejudgment interest creates a substantial financial incentive for defendants to litigate even where liability is so clear and the jury award so predictable that they should settle.”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. Guin v. Ha · Drickersen v. Drickersen Ex Rel. Drickersen
