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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]his is not the ordinary case.... In the instant case, ... the bank is never required to file suit [to recover an overdraft fee] because it is already in possession of the customer’s money, and simply collects the fee by debiting the customer’s account.

Hence, the facts of the instant case weigh in favor of permitting Plaintiffs to pursue an unconseionability claim.”
