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 105 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While a court is not formally bound by the administrative decision as to legal effect of statutory words, it should give that conclusion great weight, using it as a substantial factor in its own construction of the statute. (First National Bank & Trust v. City of Rockford (1977), 47 Ill. App. 3d 131 , 361 N.E.2d 832 ; Youakim v. Miller (1976), 425 U.S. 231 , 47 L. Ed. 2d 701 , 96 S. Ct. 1399 .) # # # [Accordingly a] reviewing court’s function is to see if the agency had a reasonable basis in law to interpret the statutory terms to prohibit the conduct.” 55 Ill. App. 3d 545, 550, 555 , 370 N.E.2d 1198, 1202-03, 1206 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The intent of the legislature in enacting this statute is to evaluate the competency of persons engaged in the real estate business for the protection of the public.” (Emphasis added.) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 114½, par. 101.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The essence of the Act is remedial and it is settled law that a statute which is intended to promote the public welfare will be liberally construed. (May v. Pollution Control Board (1976), 35 Ill. App. 3d 930 , 342 N.E.2d 784 .) The focus of the Act is upon evaluation of a licensee’s conduct with regard to fitness to practice the profession as it affects the public. Although a license suspension may be a hardship, resulting in the loss of livelihood, the action is not a criminal prosecution. A suspension is neither a judgment of the illegality of prior acts nor the infliction of a punishment for them. (In re Damisch (1967), 38 Ill. 2d 195 , 230 N.E.2d 254 ; Klafter v. State Board of Examiners of Architects (1913), 259 Ill. 15 , 102 N.E. 193 ; Saleson v. Department of Registration and Education (1968), 95 Ill. App. 2d 104 , 237 N.E.2d 822 .) The Real Estate Brokers and Salesmen License Act is not a penal measure, to be strictly construed against the State, but a broad statutory system, interpretation of which must regard the State’s interest in protecting the public from the effects of improper conduct by real estate salesmen.” 55 Ill. App. 3d 545, 551-52 .”
