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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The ADEA deems what it labels “amounts owing” as “unpaid minimum wages ... or unpaid overtime compensation” for purposes of section 216(b). 29 U.S.C.A § 626(b) (West 1985). Thus, a calculation of amounts owing provides the compensatory or pecuniary loss necessary to determine liquidated damages pursuant to Section 216(b) as applied to the ADEA. Amounts owing includes “items of pecuniary loss or economic loss such as wages, fringe, and other job-related benefits.” H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 950, 95th Cong., 2d Sess. 13, reprinted in 1978 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 504, 528, 535.”
