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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * Cases on the subject of “diligent effort” demonstrate that the court is closely interested in the detailed efforts comprising any alleged diligence. The court in each case must decide whether such effort was adequate or merely perfunctory. It is clear also from United States v. Berben Corporation, 49 Cust. Ct. 497 , A.R.D. 147, that the court appreciates the difficulty under some circumstances of obtaining such proof from competitors. Accordingly, futility of effort will not defeat a litigant if sufficient evidentiary proof of diligence satisfies the court.”
