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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Civil rules for the Superior Court, Rule 59. New Trial and Amendment of Judgments, subsections: (5) “Damages so excessive or inadequate as unmistakably to indicate that the verdict must have been the result of passion or prejudice.” (9) “That substantial justice has not been done.” The Court specifically finds that the jury verdict was so low that it shocked the Court, particularly because it allowed only a nominal amount for pain and suffering, and clearly was unjustified under the evidence introduced at the time of trial.”
