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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the pro tanto credit rule, we “allow a dollar-for-dollar credit against a plaintiffs ... verdict for sums received in settlement from other tortfeasors.” ... “All payments in settlement of a claim, except payments in the nature of a gratuity or arising from separate contract, fall under this rule which, is designed to prevent the unjust enrichment of a double recovery.” ... The burden is on the party seeking to reduce its liability by the settlement amount and must be pleaded as an affirmative defense .... This party must show that “without such a credit the plaintiff would receive more than full compensation for [the] injuries.””
