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.
“(b) The appeal shall be perfected by (1) oral announcement of appeal in open court; or (2) by filing notice of appeal in the office of the clerk of superior court within 10 days after entry of judgment, pursuant to subsection (a) . . . . Failure to pay the costs of court to appeal within 20 days after entry of judgment shall result in the automatic dismissal of the appeal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under the provisions of G.S. § 7A-305(c), supra, it is clear that the duty of collecting the additional costs at the time of the filing of the papers initiating an appeal is imposed upon the Clerk. But a failure of the Clerk to perform his duty in this respect should not operate to prejudice the appealing party.”
