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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Attorney fees are not considered damages when sought in the same action in which the services are rendered. However, they may be damages when sought in a separate action. Here, the victim could have recovered attorney fees in a breach of contract action. However, if recovered in that action, they would not have been considered damages. Therefore, under ORS 137.103(2), attorney fees are not `special damages' recoverable in a civil action arising out of defendant's criminal conduct and, accordingly, are not recoverable as part of restitution." 96 Or.App. at 505 , 774 P.2d 1109 . (Citations omitted.)”
