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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * The elimination of governmental immunity to all public bodies within the state is consistent with accepted tort principles and the reasonable expectations of the citizenry with respect to its government. Accordingly, in keeping with our prior expressions on the subject, e.g., Haverlack, supra; Enghauser, supra; Strohofer, supra: Dickerhoof [v. Canton (1983), 6 Ohio St. 3d 128 ], supra, boards of education are now liable for tortious acts in the same manner as private individuals.””
