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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In an action upon contract seeking damages for the breach of a contract and attorney’s fees under Code § 20-1404 (the predecessor to O.C.G.A. § 13-6-11) as an expense of litigation because of bad faith, the trial judge charged the jury that ‘the term ‘bad faith’ has a meaning which is the opposite of good faith. It means bad purpose, bad intent, bad state of knowledge or desire.’ There is no error in the charge.”
