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 rights of a defendant after default are well settled. The default is a determination that the plaintiff is entitled to judgment . . . [Emphasis added] . “Although the defendant may contest the amount, he cannot be allowed to prove that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover any damages. . . . [T]here must be judgment in his [plaintiff’s] favor . . . “. . . [T]he right of a defendant after default does not extend so far as to allow him to introduce any defense. His only right is to reduce the amount of the plaintiff’s recovery . . . The defendant cannot establish any defense to the actions, for that is admitted by the default.” [Emphasis added]”
