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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) an admission, statement or act inconsistent with a claim later asserted; (2) reasonable reliance on that admission, statement, or act by the other party; and (3) injury to the relying party if the court permits the first party to contradict or repudiate the admission, statement or act. Equitable estoppel against the government is not favored. Therefore, when the doctrine is asserted against the government, equitable estop-pel must be necessary to prevent a manifest injustice, and the exercise of government functions must not be impaired as a result of estoppel. Each element must be proved by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence.”
