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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Effect of failure of workman to file claim or bring suit by reason of conduct of employer. — The failure of any person entitled to compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Act [59-10-1 to 59-10-37] to give any notice, file any claim, or bring suit within the time fixed by the Workmen’s Compensation Act shall not deprive such person of the right to compensation where the failure was caused in whole or in part by the conduct of the employer or insurer which reasonably led the person entitled to compensation to believe the compensation would be paid.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The legislature has seen fit in some thirty-eight years to enact only the one provision for extending the time in which a claimant may file his claim under the workmen’s compensation act, and this provision does not embrace conduct such as that upon which claimant here relies * * * [T]he legislature has taken action only on the one occasion to provide for reasons or excuses which will extend the time within which suit must be filed, which reasons or excuses are set forth in § 59-10-14, N.M.S.A.1953; we are not inclined to ignore this express statutory language and the legislative intent manifested by that language and by the continued concurrence of the legislature for over thirty-eight years in this court’s construction and application of that language, nor are we inclined to reverse our position so uniformly adhered to over so many years.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Howie v. Stevens“..., in view of the express language of our statute as to the effect of a failure to timely file suit, which language we cannot ignore; the uniform position taken by this court over so many years in the construction and application of this language; the fact that the legislature has never taken any action to change this statutory language so as to accomplish a result different from that expressly stated, or to in any way alter or detract from this court’s construction of the language of this limitation statute ... we are not inclined to reverse our position adhered to over so many years.”
