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.
““Where a plaintiff has an action pending in the Court of Common Pleas against several state officers or employees and a simultaneous action pending against the state in the Court of Claims based upon the same act or omission, upon the raising of the issue of waiver in the Court of Common Pleas on the basis that another action is pending in the Court of Claims, Civ. R. 54(B) permits the Court of Common Pleas to enter an interlocutory order of dismissal which may be later modified, removing the necessity of proceeding to trial with respect to the defendant state officers or employees and deferring the entry of final judgment until the Court of Claims has made its determination upon the issue of scope of employment.””
