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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘We find § 5-37.3-6 to be violative of the separation of powers mandated by article 3 of the Rhode Island Constitution. Section 5-37.3-6, in addition to interfering with the subpoena power of the judiciary, removes from the court’s discretion the determination of admissibility of otherwise relevant evidence. Read in conjunction with § 5-37.S-j(a), the statute vests the power to make such determinations in the hands of individual patients who can decide with impunity whether to permit access to such information.” Bartlett, 503 A.2d at 517 (Emphasis added.).”

(a)(1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) hereof, confidential health care information shall not be subject to compulsory legal process in any type of proceeding, including, but not limited to, any civil or criminal case or legislative or administrative proceedings or in any pre-trial or other preliminary proceedings, and a patient or his authorized representative shall have the right to refuse to disclose, and to prevent a witness from disclosing, his confidential health care-information in any such proceedings."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Almonte“"We conclude that § 5-37.3-6 is violative of article 1, section 5. We find that § 5-37.3-6, absent the patient consent mandated by § 5-37.3-4(a), precludes litigants from obtaining and introducing material evidence, thereby preventing litigants from effectively presenting their claims before the trier of fact." 503 A.2d at 518 .”
