The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““May the trial court to which a chancery case has been remanded by this court after final decree here, without leave of this court having been obtained, reopen a case and change and modify, enlarge or detract from the decree of this court? We think not. This court hears chancery cases de novo, and the decree of this court is a finality. The recent case of Thompson v. Hurson, 206 Mich. 139 , is in point. By the provisions of the statute (3 Comp. Laws 1915, § 13761), upon the final determination of a chancery case by this court, it is remitted to the circuit court to be there enforced. But it is not for that court to determine whether it shall be enforced, changed, added to, or taken from.””
