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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“survival of the action is the rule and not the exception. " "Although at common law the death of a sole plaintiff or defendant abated an action . . . by virtue of § 52-599 , Connecticut's right of survival statute, a cause of action can survive if a representative of CT Page 14814 the decedent's estate is substituted for the decedent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is a well established principle ... that [d]uring the interval ... between the death and the revival of the action [pursuant to § 52-599 ] by the appearance of the executor or administrator, the cause has no vitality. The surviving party and the court alike are powerless to proceed with it.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“(a) A cause or right of action shall not be lost or destroyed by the death of any person, but shall survive in favor of or against the executor or administrator of the deceased person.”
