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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[I]t is lawful for the plaintiff in the complaint to claim interest on the damages alleged from the date the action accrued. When such interest is so claimed, it is the duty of the court in entering judgment for the plaintiff in such action to add interest on such amount calculated at the rate of nine percent per annum on actions filed on or after July 1, 1975, and at the legal rate on actions filed prior to such date, and calculated from the date such suit was filed to the date of satisfying the judgment. ... On actions filed on or after July 1, 1979, the calculation shall include compounding of interest annually from the date such suit was filed.” Section 13-21-101(1), C.R.S. (1983 Cum.Supp.).”
