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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While it cannot be disputed that a decision against defendant [in action on separation agreement brought by first wife] will affect his children [of second marriage], and might lower their standard of living, the question remains whether they have a sufficient interest in the `property' of their father to warrant intervention. The Court thinks not.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is obvious that the arguments to be advanced on behalf of [the husband and father] will almost certainly overlap those made on behalf of his [second family].”
