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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The interpretation of an insurance policy presents a question of law that is appropriate for summary judgment. If the language in the policy is unambiguous then it should be given its plain and ordinary meaning. But, if the language is ambiguous, the policy should be strictly construed against the insurer. Finally, the terms of a contract are not ambiguous merely because controversy exists between the parties concerning the proper interpretation of terms.”
