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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As explained in the decisions which developed the exceptions, it was felt there would be a saving of litigants ’ time and money if these exceptions were allowed. Our experience has been that the existence of the exceptions has been counterproductive.... In view of this, our Court now returns to the time tested doctrine that a remand order of the Board is interlocutory and unappealable as a matter of right, without exception.”
