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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The provision of section 442 of the Code of Civil Procedure, giving to a defendant who may seek affirmative relief ‘against any party’ the right to file a cross-complaint at the same time that he files his answer, is limited to eases in which he seeks affirmative relief against a ‘party’ to the action. This section does not give him a right to file a cross-complaint for affirmative relief against one who is not already a party to the action, or to bring new or additional parties into the action by including them in his cross-complaint as defendants thereto. He cannot bring a new party into the action without an order of the court therefor.””
