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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“where the intent to appeal an intermediate interlocutory order 'is quite clear from the record,' such order may be reviewed upon appeal of a final judgment notwithstanding failure of said order to be 'specifically mentioned in the notice of appeal [.]'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he purpose[] of postseparation support [] [is] to function almost as a stop-gap measure to provide some support to a dependent spouse prior to the discovery of the data necessary for an alimony . . . hearing.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Plaintiff's notice of hearing served upon defendant indicated the matter at issue was plaintiff's PSS motion and that one hour was the estimated time of hearing. Defendant neither filed nor served upon plaintiff any corresponding notice to hear or request for trial of his specific performance action. Indeed, the matter was not placed on a trial calendar, but rather the `Monday Motion Session of the District Court,' presumably limited to the hearing of motions. . . .”
