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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"If the court on appeal affirms the judgment, damages may be assessed in favor of the appellee not exceeding ten per cent (10%) upon the judgment, in money judgments, and in other cases in the discretion of the court; and the court shall remand such cause for execution."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A discretionary award of damages is proper where an appeal is frivolous, or without substance or merit. Further, a penalty may be assessed where an appeal is taken merely to harass or delay the appellee, 'thus presenting an illustration of vexatious litigation, that crowds our courts to the detriment of meritorious action, and which should not go unre-buked.' [Citations omitted.]"”
