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.
“When ruling upon preliminary objections in the nature of a demurrer, the Court must accept as true all well-pleaded allegations of material fact as well as all reasonable inferences deducible therefrom. The Court is not required to accept as true any conclusions of law or expressions of opinion. A demurrer, which results in the dismissal of a suit, should be sustained only in cases that are free from and clear from doubt and only where it appears with certainty that the law permits no recovery under the allegations pleaded.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It merits emphasis, however, that the prerogative for the collection of such monies is not solely that of the County District Attorney since Act 84 vests such a prerogative in the correctional authorities ... to make deductions from an inmate’s account, and does not impose prior court authorization as a threshold condition.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“greater injury will result from refusing rather than granting the relief requested.”
