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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he trial court erred in characterizing the passive appreciation in market value of [the husband's] interest in non-marital real estate partnerships ... as a marital asset... . In this case, any increase in market value did not result from the expenditure of marital funds or from marital efforts, but resulted from `inflation or fortuitous market forces'... . The appreciation in value of these two partnerships as a result of the infusion of marital funds was the amount by which [the husband's] share of the mortgage debt on [the non-marital partnerships] was reduced during marriage.”
