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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[n]ominal damages may be awarded even if no actual loss is proven). But Anderson offers no precedent for the proposition that only nominal damages may be awarded, nor have we found any. {¶ 13} Baker testified that Anderson's statements caused a decline in the number of students taking her dance classes and damaged her reputation within the dance community. She estimated that she lost $5,000 to $10,000 in business income. In the context of rejecting Baker's claim of tortious interference with business relationships, however, the court found that Anderson's statements did not damage Baker in her ongoing or prospective business relations. The court also found that her claim of lost income due to a decline in class attendance was "speculative.”
