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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Rule 15(a), Rules of Civil Procedure, 16 A.R.S., provides that ‘Leave to amend shall be freely given when justice requires.’ This court has stated that amendments to pleadings should be granted with great liberality, so that cases may be decided on the merits rather than on mere technicalities of pleadings, and so long as the granting of the amendment does not prejudice the other party, (citations omitted) It is the rule in this state that the granting of the motion to amend is left to the sound discretion of the trial judge, (citations omitted).” Cagle v. Carr, 101 Ariz. 225, 227 , 418 P.2d 381, 383 (1966).”
