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 209 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a claimant has received inadequate notice, ... where a motion for appointment of counsel is pending and equity would justify tolling the statutory period until the motion is acted upon, ... where the court has led the plaintiff to believe that she had done everything required of her, ... [or] where affirmative misconduct on the part of a defendant lulled the plaintiff into inaction.”
14 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[t]he court’s equitable power to toll the statute of limitations will be exercised only in extraordinary and carefully circumscribed instances.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The problem [of knowing when an amendment shall relate back to the date of the original pleading] has arisen most acutely in certain actions by private parties against officers or agencies of the United States.... In several recent cases the claimants instituted timely action but mistakenly named as defendant the United States, the [federal agency], ... and a Secretary who had retired from the office.... Discovering their mistakes, the claimants moved to amend their complaints to name the proper defendant; by this time the statutory [period for filing a civil action] had expired. The motions were denied on the ground that the amendment "would amount to the commencement of a new proceeding and would not relate back in time as to avoid the statutory provision ... that suit be brought within [the statutory period]. Relation back is intimately connected with the policy of the statute of limitations. The policy of the statute limiting the time for suit against the Secretary of [a federal agency] would not have been offended by allowing relation back in the situations described above.”
