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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) Subject to the requirement that administrative remedies be exhausted and in the absence of any statutory or common-law provision precluding or limiting judicial review, any person aggrieved or adversely affected in fact by a final decision of an agency in a contested case, or by other agency action or inaction, or any person affected in fact by a rule adopted by an agency, is entitled to judicial review in the district court * * (Emphasis added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * a proceeding including but not restricted to ratemaking, price fixing and licensing, in which legal rights, duties or privileges of a party are required by law to be determined by an agency after an opportunity for hearing * * *.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““This court has previously had opportunity to construe the meaning of a ‘contested case.’ Scarlett v. Town Council, Town of Jackson, Teton County, Wyo., 463 P.2d 26, 29 (1969); Thornley v. Wyoming Highway Dept., Motor Vehicle Division, Wyo., 478 P.2d 600, 603 (1971); Lund v. Schrader, Wyo., 492 P.2d 202, 209-210 (1971); and Firemen’s Pension Fund v. Hoy, Wyo., 516 P.2d 365, 366-367 (1973). Each of these cases dealt with the question of whether or not there was a ‘contested case,’ requiring notice and hearing at the agency level. To be a ‘contested case’ there must exist legal rights which, under the law, are to be determined after an opportunity for a trial-type hearing. Scarlett v. Town Council, supra.” Diefenderfer v. Budd, Wyo., 563 P.2d 1355, 1359 (1977).”
