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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the parent company, ISA, was the most important actor at every critical stage of this transaction. It exercised dominion over the performance of the contract.... ISA cannot escape responsibility for the role that it played.... The proximate result of that control was a clear legal wrong — the breach of plaintiff’s contract — and the parent corporation necessarily must bear the responsibility therefor.”
