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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “• The trial court erred in granting summary judgment on PAS’s breach of fiduciary duty claim because it was not raised in the Summary Judgment Motion. PAS complains of this omission on appeal. • The trial court properly granted summary judgment on PAS’s fraud claim based on the alleged misrepresentation that Engel would remain working at PAS, but erred in granting summary judgment on the fraud claim based on Engel’s failure to disclose his plan to form a new company, Caputech, that would work with PAS’s competitor, Ma-trikon. We affirm as well the trial court’s grant of summary judgment on PAS’s fraud claims based on Engel’s affirmative representations that he would not form a new company or work with PAS’s competitor; although these claims were not addressed in the Summary Judgment Motion, PAS does not complain on appeal that summary judgment was improper as to these claims. • The trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Engel on PAS’s claim for breach of the 2008 Agreement is affirmed, but the grant of summary judgment on PAS’s claim for breach of the 2006 Agreement was improper. • The trial court properly granted summary judgment on the civil conspiracy claim.”
