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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico has made it clear that the law of Puerto Rico does not give persons who hold ‘transitory’ jobs, such as plaintiffs, any expectation of continued employment beyond the time their yearly appointments expire. In Department of Natural Resources v. Correa, 87 J.T.S. 35 (P.R. Sup.Ct. April 15, 1987), the Court said: “we conclude that a transitory appointment generates a job retention expec tancy only during the term of the appointment ... a transitory employee is not entitled to a permanent status nor does he have a legitimate job retention expectancy once his appointment expires.””
