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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A settled principle to be sure is that a single act may constitute transaction of business under Virginia’s long-arm statute, provided the action arose from one transaction [cites omitted]. But this principle simply serves to underscore that it is the nature and quality of acts and not their number that determine whether the transaction of business has occurred. It does not mean that any single act suffices.”
