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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A final receipt, given by an employe . . . entitled to compensation under a compensation agreement notice or award, shall be prima facie evidence of the termination of the employer’s liability to pay compensation under such agreement notice or award: Provided, however, That a referee . . . may, at any time within three years from the date to which payments have been made, set aside a final receipt, upon petition filed with the department... if it be shown that all disability due to the injury in fact had not terminated.”
