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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) where an employer proves a previous permanent disability, and (2) that by medical testimony the risk of injury in his employment has increased * * *. On the other hand, if a workman has proven that (1) his physical condition and disability is such that he was able to perform the same duties in prior employment without any physical difficulty, (2) before he made application for employment, and (3)he was able to perform the duties of his employment, no causal connection exists between the false representation and the injury.”
