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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rules embodied in [this title] can be viewed as those expressing the fundamental theories underlying letters of credit. For this reason the second sen-fence of subsection (3) makes explicit the court’s power to apply a particular rule by analogy to cases not within its terms, or to refrain from doing so. Under Section 1-102(1) [Va. Code § 8.1-102(1)] such application is to follow the canon of liberal interpretation to promote underlying purposes and policies. Since the law of letters of credit is still developing, conscious use of that canon and attention to fundamental theory by the court are peculiarly appropriate.”

[Rather, it] is limited by the underlying policies of letter of credit law and Article 5.”
