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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court held in Tuber v. Perkins et al., Board of Trustees, * * * that a Board of Township Trustees may function as a legislative body, and, when it functions as such, there can be no appeal from its action. “Functionally, the action which the trustees took in the instant case [denial of a petition for incorporation of a village] is not legislative since it involves merely the application of existing law to a given factual situation.””
