2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“But the fundamental harm done here is institutional. The judiciary exists to dispense justice, not deny it. We act in conflict with our most basic duty and function when we adopt rules or announce decisions that close the courthouse doors even to a single deserving litigant.

[ Id. at 214, 678 A.2d 243 .]”
