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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Each side moved for a directed verdict. We have several times held that this amounted to a submission of the case to the court ( Butts v. Sauve , 79 Colo. 317 , 245 Pac. 713 ; McGhee Inv. Co. v. Kirsher , 71 Colo. 137 , 204 Pac. 891 ), and so it is now claimed that the verdict and the judgment thereon are invalid, but, since both sides went to the jury without objection on this score, we think neither has ground to complain.”
