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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We reversed the judgment below and remanded with directions that the trial court enter a judgment consistent with our opinion — i.e., one which corrected the specified errors. The trial court has declined to do that. Instead, the revised judgment entered by a successor trial judge simply requires Frank to pay Straley the sum of $44,471.00 in the form of a three-year note, leaving the entire interest in the Mako boat in Frank, and leaving Straley alone responsible for the $111,000.00 marital debt. The figure of $44,471.00 was arrived at by the trial judge by taking the past depreciation of Straley’s non-marital partnership interest and deducting therefrom the mortgage reduction attributable to Straley’s share. This produced the figure of $89,-029.00, which the trial judge concluded was the amount which the marital estate had been overstated in the original judgment. She then roughly divided this figure by two. This approach, of course, does not resolve the inequitable allocation of the marital debt, and still deprives Straley of his one-half interest in the Mako boat.”
