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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Since we are committed to an adversary system of justice, we do not construe [Rule 55(b)] to mean that a “hearing” ipso facto means a one-sided presentation by the party seeking the default judgment. It is well-settled in this jurisdiction that, as to setting aside default judgments, all doubts should be resolved in favor of the trial on the merits. We conceive that the same principle should apply to a hearing under Rule 55 as to the amount of damages, (citations omitted)”
