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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. “The parties to a pending law suit may by oral agreement compromise and settle the same, which will bind them although not reduced to writing. Boswell v. Gillen, 131 Ga. 310 , 62 S.E. 187 .” Herndon v. Herndon, 227 Ga. 781, 783 , 183 S.E.2d 386, 388 (1971). For such an agreement to be binding on the parties it should be clear’that it is full and complete, covers all issues, and is understood by all litigants concerned. “A compromise, when made full and complete, puts an end to the subject matter of controversy.” Parker v. Riley, 21 Ga. 427 (1857), and see Kapiloff v. Askin Stores, Inc., 202 Ga. 292 , 42 S.E.2d 724 (1947). 2. An oral compromise, where denied by one of the parties, creates an issue of fact, and it will not be adopted by the court unless it appears that the terms were understood and agreed to by those concerned.”
