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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]here is considerable doubt that aiding and abetting liability exists at all as to section 12 violations. See McFarland v. Memorex Corp., 493 F.Supp. 631, 647 (N.D.Cal.1980). The courts that have discussed aiding and abetting liability have assumed that it could not extend liability any more broadly than does the “substantial factor” test, and so have not considered it separately. See Admiralty Fund v. Jones, 677 F.2d at 1294 n. 4; Stokes v. Lokken, 644 F.2d [779] at 784-85 [ (8th Cir.1981) ]; Pharo v. Smith, 621 F.2d 656, 669 (5th Cir.1980).”
