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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ Although this Court is reluctant to raise a question not being made by attorneys for either party, yet the plight of this record presents a jurisdictional question that challenges the legal right of this Court to review this case, and therefore cannot be ignored. “ ‘The only judicial act of the trial court presented in this record is the judgment of the court dismissing plaintiff’s suit and adjudging the costs against him. Before this Court can take jurisdiction there must appear as a part of the technical record a minute entry recording the final judgment of the trial court, the disposition of the motion for a new trial, and an appeal prayed and granted. Jurisdiction cannot be conferred by consent of the parties.’ ””

Jurisdiction cannot be conferred by consent of parties, and this maxim applies as well to appellate jurisdiction as to original jurisdiction. Barnes v. Noel, 131 Tenn. 126, 134 , 174 S.W. 276 , 278.””
