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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Here, as in Blake [v. Dunn Farms (1980) 274 Ind. 560 , 413 N.E.2d 560 ], the owners of the property, the Princes, had no relationship to the agency (the vehicle which struck the Flanigans) causing the injury. To impose liability upon Princes, under the circumstances of this case, for the acts of a third party over whom they had no control, and which occurred not on their property but on a public highway over which they had no control would clearly be contrary to the principles announced in Blake. Further, such a rule is contrary to decisions from other jurisdictions which have addressed the precise issue involved here.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In order to affirm the decision of the trial court, we would be required to hold that under the facts alleged in this case, the law imposed a duty upon the [defendants] to provide traffic control, issue warnings, or take other action to protect [plaintiffs] from being struck by a vehicle not under [defendants] control while [plaintiffs] were walking along the highway on their way to [defendant’s] flea market. In our opinion the law imposes no such duty.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[cjivil liability of a governmental unit may not be predicated upon a duty owed to the public generally, but only upon a private duty which must be particularized as to an individual. Simpson’s Food Fair, Inc. v. City of Evansville (1971), 149 Ind.App. 387 , 272 N.E.2d 871 ; Crouch v. Hall (1980), Ind.App., 406 N.E.2d 303 .”
