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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““With respect to the defendant City of Hartford it may well be ‘estopped from asserting any claim that it will not pay such a verdict, should one be entered against its individual employee [s].’ Thus, if the plaintiffs prevail against the individual defendants, it is questionable whether, as a practical matter, a separate and independent action against the municipal defendants would be necessary.” “Considered in light of the strong possibility that a jury ‘might be prejudiced against the other defendants if it knew from the claim against the City as a defendant that it might b.e obligated to pay any judgment .,’ the circumstances weigh more heavily against an exercise of pendent jurisdiction over these claims.””
