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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the trial court may order the appeal dismissed where there has been an unreasonable delay in the transmission of the record to the appellate court, and it is seen that the delay was inexcusable and was caused by the failure of a party to pay costs in the trial court or file an affidavit of indigence; provided, however, that no appeal shall be dismissed for failure to pay costs if costs are paid within 20 days (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) of receipt by the appellant of notice, mailed by registered or certified mail or statutory overnight delivery, of the amount of costs.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“'a delay of more than 30 days in paying costs is prima facie unreasonable and inexcusable.' " Leonard , 201 Ga. App. at 261 , 410 S.E.2d 814 , quoting Unifund General v. Orr , 191 Ga. App. 836 , 837 (1), 383 S.E.2d 199 (1989) ; see also Bouldin v. Parker , 173 Ga. App. 526 , 526 (1), 327 S.E.2d 760 (1985). "[An] inference arising from [a] more than 30 day delay in paying costs is not conclusive and may be rebutted by evidence presented by an opposing party,”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In view of the more than 30 day delay in the payment of costs and the absence of any evidence as to why the delay occurred, the trial court was not authorized to exercise its discretion and deny the motion to dismiss [Briley-Holmes's] notice of appeal.”
