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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[the power to issue a preliminary injunction should be used sparingly, and such relief should not be granted except in rare instances in which the law and facts are clearly within the moving party's favor.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) [movant's] remedies at law were inadequate, thus causing irreparable harm pending resolution of the substantive action; (2) it had at least a reasonable likelihood of success at trial by establishing a prima facie case; (3) its threatened injury outweighed the potential harm to appellant resulting from the granting of an injunction; and (4) the public interest would not be dis-served.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“To obtain a preliminary injunction, the moving party has the burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that: (1) the movant's remedies at law are inadequate, thus causing ' irreparable harm pending resolution of the substantive action; (2) the movant has at least a reasonable likelihood of success at trial by establishing a prima facie case; (8) threatened injury to the movant outweighs the potential harm to the non-moving party resulting from the granting of an injunction; and (4) the public interest would not be disserved. If the movant fails to prove any of these re quirements, the trial court's grant of an injunction is an abuse of discretion.”
