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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is axiomatic that equitable jurisdiction exists to cancel insurance policies, even after loss, where, because of special circumstances, the remedy at law is inadequate. * * * The controversy here is narrowed to whether the suggested remedy at law by way of defense to the separate legal actions in the state court was full, adequate and complete. * * * “On the question of adequacy of remedy by way of defense to the separate actions at law, the District Court considered and discussed the relevant subjects of the multiplicity and character of the suits at law, apportionment of loss, proportional liability, and accounting, and it held that the remedy at law was not adequate. * * * We are in accord with that ruling.””
