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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[T]he Financial Impairment exclusion provision of the RLI policy does not apply in this case because liability attaches at the retained limit of zero and is not contingent on the insolvency of the underlying carrier.”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “Under the language of the RLI policy, RLI would be responsible for the loss in excess of the retained limit. The retained limit . . . is zero. Therefore, under . . . the limits of liability section for the RLI policy, RLI would be responsible for the ultimate net loss in excess of zero, which would cover the claim of [the plaintiff].”

  3. “RLI could have listed the retained limit as the amount of the underlying insurance carrier[,] as did the insurer in Kelly . . . .”
