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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The plea of collateral estoppel must be asserted against a party or one in privity with a party to the first action; (2) The issue to be precluded from relit-igation by operation of the doctrine must be identical to that decided in the first action; (3) The issue in the first action must have been resolved by a final judgment on the merits.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“a fair opportunity procedurally, substantively, and evidentially to contest the issue.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[i]f the particular circumstances of the prior adjudication would make it unfair to allow a person who was not a party to the first judgment to invoke ... collateral estoppel then the requirement of mutuality must still be applied.”
