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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general matter, “permitting or disallowing a party to reopen its case for the purpose of submitting additional evidence is a matter within the discretion of the trial court” and is subject to review for abuse of discretion. Territory v. Rutherford, 41 Haw. 554, 558 (1957). “The trial court abuses its discretion when it clearly exceeds the bounds of reason or disregards rules or principles of law or practice to the substantial detriment of a party litigant.” State v. Furutani 76 Hawai'i 172, 179 , 873 P.2d 51, 58 (1994) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).”
