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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[N]o matter the category, whether invitee, licensee, or trespasser, the entrant’s advantage is not the issue. In all situations, the entrant has voluntarily appeared for some reason sufficient to that person. The law does not much concern itself with the nature of the reason. The differences among the categories focus on the owner and whether that person is receiving an advantage, or just permits the presence of the entrant, or actually opposes the entry.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Members of religious associations ... fall within the category of “public invitees[.]” .... Religious bodies do expressly and impliedly invite members to come and attend their services and functions. They hold their doors open to the public. While, they do not .charge admission fees ... churches do depend on contributions .., in order that they may continue to be open to the public. Therefore, a church member who does not exceed the scope of a church’s invitation, is an invitee while attending a church for church services or related functions.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“1) An invitee 2 is a person who enters the property of another in response to an express or implied invitation of the owner or occupant for the mutual advantage or benefit of the parties involved. 2) A licensee is a person entering another’s property for his own benefit or pleasure. 3) Finally, a trespasser enters premises “without license, invitation or other right.””
