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 69 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The action was tried to the court sitting without a jury. In such instances a liberal practice in the admission of evidence is followed in this state, supported, as it is, with a presumption on appeal that the trial judge, knowing the applicable rules of evidence, will not consider matters which are inadmissible when making his findings. State v. Bell, [ 59 Wash.2d 338, 352 , 368 P.2d 177 , cert. denied, 371 U.S. 818 , 83 S.Ct. 34 , 9 L.Ed.2d 59 (1962)]. And, in nonjury proceedings a new trial ordinarily will not be granted for error in the admission of evidence, if there remains substantial admissible evidence to otherwise support the trial court's findings. State v. Ryan, 48 Wash.2d 304 , 293 P.2d 399 (1956).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The granting or denying of a motion for continuance of the trial of a case, whether criminal or civil, rests within the sound discretion of the trial court, and this court will not disturb the trial court’s ruling absent a showing that the trial court in ruling upon the motion either failed to exercise its discretion or manifestly abused its discretion.”
