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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[I]f a party, such as [in] Fratzke and LaFleur , fails to timely answer or to timely supplement answers to interrogatories concerning a claim for unliquidat-ed damages, and that party also fails to seek leave of the court during trial to file an untimely answer or an untimely supplemental answer to those interrogatories, a trial court is precluded from instructing the jury on an award for any claim of unliquidated damages in excess of the last amount stated in the answers to the interrogatories. However, if a party moves the trial court at any time during trial for leave to file belated answers or supplemental answers to the interrogatories concerning his claim for unliquidated damages, the trial court retains the discretion to permit or to deny such a request.”
