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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(2) Sanctions by court in which action is pending. If a party or an officer, director or managing agent of a party or a person designated under K.S.A. 60-230(b) or 60-231(a) to testify on behalf of a party fails to obey an order to provide or permit discovery, including an order made under subdivision (a) of this section or under K.S.A. 60-235, the judge before whom the action is pending may make such orders in regard to the failure as are just, and among others the following: (C) An order striking out pleadings or parts thereof, or staying further proceedings until the order is obeyed, or dismissing the action or proceeding or any part thereof, or rendering a judgment by default against the disobedient party.” (Emphasis added.)”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Plaintiff was willfully in default and willfully continued to refuse . . . after being fully advised as to what the consequences would be if he persisted. The trial judge had no viable alternative to dismissing the action, and we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the plaintiff’s cause of action.” 2 Kan. App. 2d at 330 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The scope of relevancy in a discovery proceeding is broader than the scope of relevancy at trial. Relevancy includes information which may be useful in preparation for trial. A request for discovery would be considered relevant if there is any possibility that the information sought may be relevant to the subject matter of the lawsuit.””
