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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here, the agreement between the parties, clear and ambiguous, was that ‘[i]n full settlement of all claims between the parties, the Wife does hereby accept the sum of $2,300,’ and that agreement was expressly made a ‘full, final and complete settlement of all property matters and other matters between the parties.’ One of those matters was the wife’s cause of action for assault and battery. The language of the agreement clearly demonstrates an intent on the part of [the wife] to make a final settlement of ‘all claims,’ including her claim for assault and battery. ‘All claims’ means just that.””
