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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[S]ome balancing of the equities and some consideration of the efficacy of lesser sanctions must precede a trial court’s imposition of a sanction which will significantly impair a party’s ability to present its case on the merits at trial. Borrowing from Justice Donaldson’s concurrence in Astorquia , we hold that a trial court, “must balance the equities by comparing the culpability of the disobedient party with the resulting prejudice to the innocent party.” Astorquia, 113 Idaho at 532 , 746 P.2d at 990 . Second, a trial court should not impose a sanction that will prevent full adjudication of a ease on the merits without having first considered lesser sanctions and having reached a conclusion, supported by the record, that lesser sanctions would be ineffective or inadequate.”
