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 81 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Actionable negligence may be of two kinds, either statutory or common law. Where a valid statute, enacted for the public safety, or governmental regulations made in pursuance thereof, provide that a certain thing must or must not be done, if a failure to comply with the regulations is the proximate cause of injury to another, such failure is actionable negligence per se."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Mercer v. Vinson“It is my view that the Statute ... cannot be fairly construed to have this effect. It is found in a Chapter ... which ... “is an attempt to establish a complete general code regulating the sale of intoxicating liquor in Arizona.” Its purpose is to regulate the business rather than to enlarge civil remedies.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ontiveros v. Borak“[I]t has been held by all the courts and by every commentator that the proximate cause, as the expression is understood in the law of torts, of the resultant effects arising from voluntary intoxication is the act of the drinker, and not the seller of the beverage.”
