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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... defendant's motion to dismiss for want of prosecution was not made until four days after the plaintiff had progressed the case by setting down the pending motion [to produce physicians' reports]. In the absence of a showing the act of noticing the motion [to produce] for hearing was not a step taken in good faith ..., it was sufficient, when done before the motion to dismiss for want of prosecution, to protect against dismissal.”
