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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hen an employer communicates personnel policy statements to its employees which “... limit the employer’s discretion to terminate an indefinite employment or that set forth a required procedure for termination of such employment ...”, such statements, if justifiably relied on by its employee, may "... become contractual undertakings by the employer that are enforceable by its employee.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If we determine that the language of the provisions is ambiguous—an ambiguity exists when the language in the provision is, to a reasonably prudent layman, susceptible of more than one meaning, Truck Insurance Exchange v. Marks Rentals, Inc., 288 Md. 428, 433 , 418 A.2d 1187 (1980), or where the placement of the provisions in the handbook has that effect—and/or equivocal, then the issue of appellant’s justification in relying on the other provisions is for the fact finder. Where the issue is, as it is here, the justiciability of an employee’s reliance on a handbook, we must consider both the placement of the provisions in the handbook and the language of the provisions.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Involuntary Dismissal If, after attaining regular status, following the successful completion of your probationary period, you are not satisfying your job performance requirements, you will be counseled by your Supervisor and given a reasonable opportunity to improve. If reasonable means of improving performance have been attempted and you still do not meet job requirements, you may be terminated involuntarily.”
