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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) [The] award was procured by corruption, fraud, or other undue means; (2) There was evident partiality by an arbitrator appointed as a neutral, corruption in any arbitrator, or misconduct prejudicing the rights of any party; (3) The arbitrators exceeded their powers; (4) The arbitrators refused to postpone the hearing upon sufficient cause being shown for the postponement, refused to hear evidence material to the controversy, or otherwise so conducted the hearing, contrary to the provisions of § 3-213, as to prejudice substantially the rights of a party; or (5) There was no arbitration agreement as described in § 3-206, the issue was not adversely determined in proceedings under § 3-208, and the party did not participate in the arbitration hearing without raising the objection.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“We begin by reiterating that [the owner’s] original letter of submission to AAA requested a finding that “no money is due from the [owner] to the [contractor].” [The owner] plainly was referring to the final $86,767.28 contract installment. ... Whether the arbitrator ever resolved this issue is difficult to ascertain due to the sparse record of the arbitration proceedings and the rather obtuse opinion issued by the arbitrator when announcing his award. While the arbitrator ultimately found that [the owner] owed no money to [the contractor], the basis for this decision is at best murky. He either decided the matter on a substantive basis, concluding that the [contractor’s] work on [the owner’s] property was deficient, or he decided the case on a procedural basis, concluding that he lacked the jurisdiction to grant an award in response to [the contractor’s] perhaps otherwise meritorious position. In either case, we will affirm the ruling of the trial court.”
