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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is plain that the British Insurers are asking the impossible. Home paid $290,-000 to settle this case; there is no way to divide this figure into constituents representing [the plaintiffs] “design” theory, “manufacturing” theory, “construction” theory, and the like. Indeed the case is in the same posture as if a general verdict had been returned in favor of [the plaintiff].”
