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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Making an employer liable for attorney's fees serves legitimate social purposes such as discouraging oppressive delay in recognition of liability, deterring arbitrary or capricious denial of claims, and insuring the ability of necessitous claimants to obtain adequate and competent legal representation. Aluminum Co. of America v. Henning , 260 Ark. 699 , 543 S.W.2d 480 (1976). Put another way, the fundamental purposes of attorney's fees statutes such as Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-715 is to place the burden of litigation expenses upon the party that made it necessary. Cleek v. Great Southern Metals , 335 Ark. 342 , 981 S.W.2d 529 (1998).”
