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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Economy’s citation to the recently enacted legislation voiding all hold-harmless clauses which provide for indemnification for indemnitees for the consequences of their own negligence, as being contrary to public policy, is unavailing. The legislation specifically states that it has prospective effect only, whereas the instant subcontract was entered into prior thereto, but prior to the enactment of that legislation hold-harmless clauses providing for indemnification of indemnitees against their own negligence were specifically upheld by the courts of this State. (Cf. DeTienne v. S. N. Nielsen Co., 45 Ill.App.2d 231 , 195 N.E.2d 240 ; see also Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 29, pars. 61 — 63.””
