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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Code § 23-1502 provides: 'A county is not liable to suit for any cause of action unless made so by statute.’ "It has been repeatedly held that a right of action arises by necessary implication against a county when it violates a constitutional right of a citizen. See Waters v. DeKalb County, 208 Ga. 741, 745 ( 69 SE2d 274 ). "The appellee concedes that the declaration of the Constitution that private property shall not be taken or damaged for public purposes without just and adequate compensation being first paid (Constitution, Art. I, Sec. Ill, Par. I; Code Ann. § 2-301) gives rise to an action for damages against the county for injuries to private property caused by public improvements.” In Waters v. DeKalb County, 208 Ga. 741 , supra, at page 745, it is held: "There is no inconsistency between the ruling presently made (holding the county liable) and Code § 23-1502, which provides that a county is not liable to suit for any cause of action unless made so by statute. A right of action arises by necessary implication against a county when it violates a constitutional right of a citizen.””
