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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We further find that the majority shareholders' decision to strip from Viener any meaningful role in the companies he co-founded was not made under proper circumstances. Jacobs squeezed Viener out of NGN and RGC, by using seemingly legitimate means, because he wanted Viener to go away quietly. Viener was denied access to information, the facilities and then his proper share of the benefits accruing from NGN and RGC. The majority shareholders retaliated against Viener, in part because of this litigation, and left him with an interest in a corporate shell.”
