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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general rule a court may not take judicial notice of the existence or contents of ordinances. Consumer Contact Company v. State, Dept. of Revenue, 592 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Mo.banc 1980). Rather, the trial court may recognize an ordinance only if it is admitted into evidence or stipulated to by the parties. Queen of Diamonds, Inc. v. Quinn, 569 S.W.2d 317, 319 (Mo.App.1978).”
