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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The misrepresentation alleged in plaintiffs suit did not cause the termite (property) damages, rather, the alleged misrepresentation occurred during the sale of the property and after the termite damage had already occurred. The damages suffered by Ms. Lawyer as a result of her purchase of the property and defendants’ alleged actions in concealing defects in the property therefore do not constitute “property damage” within the meaning of the insurance policies. Rather, any damages suffered by plaintiff are of a pecuniary nature— damages due to the diminished value of a home infested with termites and in need of drain line replacement. Ms. Lawyer’s claims sound in negligent and intentional misrepresentation, which claims by their very nature are not for “property damage” and therefore do not fall within the scope of coverage afforded by the Metropolitan or State Farm policy.”
