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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]e are presented, then, with the question of whether the defendant's failure to bring a petition for a new trial in. a separate action deprived the trial court of subject matter jurisdiction to rule on the petition. . . . [T]he trial court should have dismissed the defendant's petition for a new trial because it was improperly brought. and we do not review the trial court's denial of that petition.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A petition for a new trial is properly instituted by a writ and complaint served on the adverse party; although such an action . . . in which a new trial is sought, it is by its nature a distinct proceeding.”
