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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The summary judgment law does not require the defendant to show that no issue of fact remains, but rather (that) no genuine issue of material fact remains . . .; and while there may be some ‘shadowy semblance of an issue’. . . , the case may nevertheless be decided as a matter of law where the evidence shows clearly and palpably that the jury could reasonably draw but one conclusion. (Cits.)” McCray v. Hunter, 157 Ga. App. 509, 511-512 ( 277 SE2d 795 ) (1981).”
