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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is a fundamental rule of statutory construction that statutes relating to the same subject matter should be construed together. Maple Hts. Teachers Assn. v. Maple Hts. Bd. of Edn. (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 314, 317 , 6 OBR 374, 376, 453 N.E.2d 619, 621 . ‘In Ohio and elsewhere the generally accepted rule is that statutes relating to the same subject or matter, although passed at different times and making no reference to each other, are in pari materia and should be read together to ascertain and effectuate if possible the legislative intent.’ State ex rel. Pratt v. Weygandt (1956) 164 Ohio St. 463 , 466, 58 O.O. 315 , 316-317, 132 N.E.2d 191 , 194. Consistent with this court’s holdings, when rules or statutes that relate to the same subject matter are construed, ‘the doctrine of in pari materia favors consistent, as opposed to inconsistent, construction.’ Austin v. Miami Valley Hosp. (1984), 19 Ohio App.3d 231, 232 , 19 OBR 382, 384, 483 N.E.2d 1185, 1187 .””
