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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“proper question, regardless of foreseeability and of time and distance, ... [was stated to be] whether the offense occurred during, or as an integral part of, the process of [the prisoner] escaping.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The keys for the solution of the issue of responsibility when there is more than one cause-in-fact of damages are (1) a determination of the exact risk or risks anticipated by imposition of the legal duty which has been breached and (2) the legal or policy considerations which grant excuses from certain circumstances which follow an act of negligence. This requires, under the facts and the law of each case and the attendant exigencies, a jurisprudential determination which will implement and make effective our broad codal provisions concerning those who should respond in damages for their faults.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“deputy's omission was [held to be] a substantial cause in fact of the escape.”
