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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the Superior Court is separated into a number of divisions, “these functional divisions do not delimit them power as tribunals of the Superior Court with general jurisdiction to adjudicate civil claims and disputes.” This court has long held that there is no jurisdictional bar to one division of the Superi- or Court entertaining an action more appropriately considered in another division, so long as doing so does not violate the statute or rules of the court and the claim has a rational nexus to a subject matter within the responsibility of that division.”
