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 121 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[L.E. § 9-750] provides for appeal to this Court “as provided for other civil cases.” ... Thus: ‘The verdict of a jury on a question of fact is conclusive on appeal.’ Fowler v. Benton, 245 Md. 540, 545 , 226 A.2d 556 (1967). It is not our function to inquire into the weight of the evidence, rather, we determine only whether there was legally sufficient evidence to support the jury verdict. Temoney v. State, 290 Md. 251, 261-62 , 429 A.2d 1018 (1981); Gray v. Director, Patuxent Inst., 245 Md. 80, 84 , 224 A.2d 879 (1966).’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A]n attorney’s conduct may expose the attorney to liability for conspiring with a liant when the attorney acts outside the scope of the attorney-client relationship. This occurs when the attorney has an independent personal stake in achieving the object of the conspiracy. Even when an attorney is acting within the scope of representing the client, the attorney may be liable under the exceptional circumstances rule if the attorney is guilty of fraud, collusion, or a malicious or tortious act.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A plaintiff can state a cause of action for tortious interference with a contract against a third party who is conditionally privileged if the plaintiff can set forth factual allegations from which actual malice may reasonably be said to exist. Such allegations, however, would necessarily include a desire to harm, which is independent of and unrelated to the attorney’s desire to protect his client.”
