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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is an elementary, if not oft-stated, principle that judgment may not be entered against one not a party to the action. Fazzi v. Peters, 68 Cal.2d 590 , 68 Cal.Rptr. 170, 173 , 440 P.2d 242, 245 (Cal.1968) (en banc). A person does not become a party subject to liability merely by receiving notice of the action. The pleading that provides notice must seek relief against the person. Ordinarily, a court has jurisdiction to enter judgment against a person only if the person receives proper notice, and such notice must include notice that the person is a party against whom judgment is sought. ... The fact that the partnership is a party does not in itself make the partners parties.”
