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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A voluntary dismissal under OCGA § 9-11-41 (a) is a matter of right and terminates the action. Page v. Holiday Inns, 245 Ga. 12, 13 ( 262 SE2d 783 ) ((1980)). Further, Georgia’s Civil Practice Act apparently makes no provision for the reinstatement of an action after dismissal as distinguished from a recommencement. Davis & Shulman’s Ga. Practice & Procedure, § 13-4 (4th Ed. 1975). Matthews v. Riviera Equip., 152 Ga. App. 870 (1) ( 264 SE2d 318 ) ((1980)).. . . (Punctuation and footnote omitted.) Collier v. Evans, 205 Ga. App. 764, 767 (4) ( 423 SE2d 704 ) (1992)”
