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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... Having viewed these awards in light of the nature of the wrong, the character of the conduct involved, the degree of culpability of the wrong-doer, the situation and sensibilities of the parties concerned, and the extent to which such conduct offends a sense of justice and propriety, we conclude that the jury's award of punitive damages is reasonable in light of the Arnoldys' deliberate concealment of material information intended to cause the Appellants to relinquish the fair market value of their stock."”
