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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Res judicata prohibits an attempt to reliti-gate ‘precisely the same question, particular controversy, or issue, which has been necessarily tried and finally determined’ in an earlier litigation. Here, the court based its attorney’s fees award on [N.H.] RSA 458:51.... The proceedings in the bankruptcy court, however, had no relation to the plaintiffs improper failure to obey the divorce decree. Consequently, res judica-ta does not apply.”
