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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] judgment obtained by an extrinsic or collateral fraud may be set aside in equity [(now by the trial court under OCGA § 9-11-60 (d) (2))]. Young v. Young, 188 Ga. 29, 34 ( 2 SE2d 622 ) (1939). Fraud is extrinsic or collateral, within the meaning of [OCGA § 9-11-60 (d) (2)], when it is one the effect of which prevents a party from having a trial, or from presenting all of his case to the court, or which operates, not upon matters pertaining to the judgment itself, but to the manner in which it is procured.”
