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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We cannot say that the trial court’s findings under T.C.A. § 47-18-109(a)(3) satisfy the quality or quantity of proof required under Hodges to sustain an award of punitive damages ... Furthermore, the trial court did not indicate whether it found, by “clear and convincing evidence,” the egregious conduct required by Hodges . We cannot extrapolate the trial court’s findings regarding the defendants’ intentional misrepresentations into the requisite findings of egregious conduct contemplated by Hodges .”
