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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. . . It is clear that the general rule does not apply where, in the course of the litigation, coplaintiffs or codefendants do in fact, although not in form, occupy the attitude of adversaries, and contest an issue with each other, either upon the pleadings between themselves and the other party, or upon cross pleadings between themselves, so that a judgment conclusively determines, as between coparties, issues which are raised and determined between them in the original action. In this connection, it has been declared that the character of a party, as adverse or otherwise as regards the doctrine of res judicata , is to be determined not by his position upon the docket, or in the title of the cause, but by reference to his relations to the other parties, as shown by his interests involved in the case.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“When a former judgment is raised as a bar in a later action, it is not essential that there be a complete identity as to all the parties in both proceedings; it is only necessary that the persons between whom the judgment is to operate as res judicata should be the same. (Citing cases).”
