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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * is that the court considers the plaintiff was entitled to recover, but it deems the verdict and judgment excessive, to a certain ascertained extent; that therefore, if the plaintiff will remit such designated excess * * * said judgment as thus voluntarily reduced, will stand affirmed as of the date of original rendition. * * * The matter of interest is taken care of by the statute which provides that all judgments shall bear interest at 8 per cent. per annum (section 4493, C.G.L.), which means of course from the date of their rendition. * * * When, under such a ruling by this court, the plaintiff * * * sees fit to remit part of his original judgment, the balance remains unaffected * * *. The result of such a conditional affirmance is, not the rendition of a new judgment, but in effect the modification of the original judgment as of the date of rendition." (At 490-491.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Novack v. Novack“The only difference between the facts of Watkins, supra, and the case at bar is that the amount of the remittitur was determined and ordered by the appellate court, whereas as here we directed the trial court to determine the amount of the remittitur. We find that in either event the result is the same, that is, there is a modification of the original judgment as of its date. Therefore, the entry of a new judgment is not required. In either event interest accrues on the amount to which the judgment was ultimately reduced as of the date of the entry of the original judgment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“... the mandate and the opinion taken together, although employing the word `reversed' amount to reversal only in respect to the amount of the award and amounts to an affirmance in all other respects. Thus, interest is allowed on the judgment as reduced from the original date of the judgment.”
