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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The amount of damages is a question of fact which is for the jury in the first instance and secondly for the trial judge on a motion for a new trial, [citation omitted] The power of this court over excessive damages “exists only when the facts are such that the excess appears as a matter of law, or is such as to suggest at first blush, passion, prejudice, or corruption on the part of the jury.” ’ [citation omitted].” 95 Idaho 898 , 522 P.2d 1119 , quoting Bratton v. Slininger, 93 Idaho 248, 253 , 460 P.2d 383, 388 (1969).”
