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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The word “resident” is not defined in the policy, and the legal definition of the term varies with the context in which it is used. The term “residence,” standing alone, may mean “actual residence” and is not necessarily synonymous with the term “domicile,” or “legal residence.” Because an ambiguous provision in an insurance policy is to be liberally construed in favor of the insured, the Court of Appeals was correct in refusing to equate the term “resident” in the policy with the term “domicile.” Therefore, we hold, as did the Court of Appeals on two previous occasions in this case, that the plaintiffs did present legally sufficient evidence on the residency issue to submit that issue for the jury’s consideration.”
