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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[O]vercompensation is as unjust to the public as undercompensation is to the property owner, and the landowner bears the burden of proving the value of the land.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Most parcels of land are adaptable to several uses, and just compensation is measured by the use that would bring the highest price — the “highest and best” use. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the highest and best use of property is presumed to be its current use. Where a landowner posits that a different use is “highest and best, ” he must show that this use is “reasonably probable” and that the probability has a real market value.”
