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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * [Cjertiorari will be granted [to review interlocutory orders entered in law actions prior to final judgment] only in those cases in which it clearly appeared there is no full, adequate and complete remedy available to the petitioner by appeal after final judgment, * * * the trial court has acted without or in excess of its jurisdiction, or its order does not conform to the essential requirements of law and may cause material injury throughout subsequent proceedings for which the remedy by appeal will be inadequate.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““Our research has failed to reveal any authority, and none has been cited by pe-titioner, which authorizes the granting •of certiorari to review an order denying summary judgment in an action at law. It is indisputable that the necessity of •defending any legal action can he bur-densome and vexatious. Such, however, is one of the hazards of living and doing business under a system of free enterprise in which one who conceives him•self to be injured is privileged to seek redress in a court of law. “Our Supreme Court has denied certio-rari to review a trial court’s order overruling a demurrer to a declaration seeking damages at law. As in the case under consideration, the petitioner urged that the challenged order did not conform to the essential requirements of law, and that to require petitioner to defend would be expensive, time consuming and harassing.””
