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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under Pennsylvania law governing the doctrine of equitable tolling, it is clear that ‘the courts have not required fraud in the strictest sense, encompassing an intent to deceive, but rather have defined fraud in the broadest sense to include an unintentional deception.’ Nesbit v. Erie Coach Co., 416 Pa. 89, 96 , 204 A.2d 473, 476 (1964). Even under this broad interpretation of fraud, however, it is clear that, in order for the doctrine of equitable tolling to apply, the defendants’ actions must have amounted ‘to an affirmative inducement to plaintiff to delay bringing the action.’ Ciccarelli v. Carey Canadian Mines, Ltd., 757 F.2d 548, 556 (3d Cir.1985). The intent of the defendant in making this affirmative inducement is irrelevant; ‘it is the effect upon the plaintiff, not the intention of the defendant, that is pertinent.’ Swietlowich v. County of Bucks, 610 F.2d 1157, 1162 (3d Cir.1979). Connors v. Beth Energy Mines, Inc., 920 F.2d 205, 211 (3rd Cir.1990).”
