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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) ‘whether there were repeated failures to comply with the Court’s orders’; (2) whether further efforts to secure compliance would only lead to ‘confrontation and delay’; (3) whether leadership is available which can ‘turn the tide within a reasonable time period’; (4) ‘whether there was bad faith’; (5) ‘whether resources are being wasted’; and, (6) ‘whether a receiver can provide a quick and efficient remedy.’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The more usual remedies contempt proceedings and further injunctions were plainly not very promising, as they invited further confrontation and delay; and when the usual remedies are inadequate, a court of equity is justified, particularly in aid of an outstanding injunction, in turning to less common ones, such as a receivership, to get the job done.”
