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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[t]he filing in superior court of a petition to enforce an award or a settlement agreement pursuant to [OCGA § 12-5-189] is not a separate suit but rather a continuation of the [administrative] proceeding. The introduction of the matter into the judicial system so that the award can be made a judgment and enforced as such may require that it be governed to some procedural extent by the Civil Practice Act.... In an OCGA § [12-5-189] proceeding, the superior court’s role is very narrow. It is to render judgment on the award and notify the parties. Of course, it retains its inherent authority to refuse to enter judgment on an award or settlement that, on its face, is legally insufficient. However, it lacks jurisdiction in [an OCGA § 12-5-189] proceeding to hear, dispute, or decide issues of fact which were determined in the administrative forum and which provide the basis for the award or settlement. The purpose of [OCGA § 12-5-189] is judicial enforcement of the award.”
