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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion to strike is properly granted if the complaint alleges mere conclusions of law that are unsupported by the facts alleged.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]f facts provable in the complaint would support a cause of action, the motion to strike must be denied.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“[o]ur statutes clearly permit an adjudication of neglect based on a potential for harm or abuse to occur in the future. General Statutes § 17a-101 (a) provides: The public policy of this state is ... [t]o protect children whose health and welfare may be adversely affected through injury and neglect .... By its terms, § 17a-101 (a) connotes a responsibility on the state's behalf to act before the actual occurrence of injury or neglect has taken place.”
