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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Though the complaint filed herein was labeled ‘Complaint For Declaratory Judgment (Contract),’ it fails to set forth the particulars of any controversy requiring a determination by the court and hence fails to state a cause of action in this regard. Kleck v. Wayland, 53 Ariz. 432 , 90 P.2d 179 (1939); Connolly v. Great Basin Ins. Co, 6 Ariz.App. 280 , 431 P.2d 921 (1967). A reading of the complaint clearly demonstrates that the plaintiffs are seeking the recovery of money, not a declaratory judgment. A declaratory judgment is one that declares the rights and duties, or the status, of parties, and does not involve executory or coercive relief. 22 Am.Jur.2d Declaratory Judgments § 1, at 836; 26 C.J.S. Declaratory Judgments § 1, at 50.” 6 Ariz.App. at 558-559, 435 P.2d at 65 .”
