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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the provision of Rule 37(d), R.C.P., the answer of a defendant should not be stricken from the record upon motion of the plaintiff for the failure of a defendant to appear for the taking of a deposition, after being served with proper notice, and a valid default judgment cannot be granted under said Rule unless competent evidence is presented or an affidavit is filed with the motion under the provisions of Rule 43(e), R.C.P., showing that the defendant “wilfully” failed to appear.”
