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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“According to the contract’s arbitration provision, to avoid waiver, it was necessary for a party to demand arbitration within the applicable statutory time limit. The statute of limitations governing contract disputes is three years. G.S. 1-52. Defend ants, therefore, to have invoked their right to arbitration should have demanded such within three years from the time plaintiff breached the contract’s arbitration provision by instituting court action. . . . Because of their own inaction, defendants are now barred from invoking their arbitration rights.”
