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 132 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The elements of negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress differ as to the state of mind of the actor and not to the conduct claimed to be extreme and outrageous.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“(a) defendant ] intended to inflict emotional distress, or knew or should have known that emotional distress was a likely result of [its] conduct; (b) defendant's] conduct was extreme and outrageous; (c) defendant’s] conduct caused the plaintiffs distress; and (d) the emotional distress suffered by the plaintiff was severe. The standard in Connecticut for conduct reaching the level of “extreme and outrageous” is defined as “that which exceeds all bounds usually tolerated by a decent society, of a nature which is especially calculated to cause, and does cause, mental distress of a very serious kind.””
