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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“ARCP Rule 55 provides that a default judgment should be entered when a party “fails to appear or otherwise defend.” Here, the appellees defended when they filed their motion to dismiss. This holding is also consistent with Ark. Stat. Ann. § 27-1160 (Repl. 1979) which provides that, “The court must in every stage of an action, disregard any error or defect in the proceedings which does not affect the substantial rights of the adverse party; and no judgment shall be reversed or affected by reason of such error or defect.” There was no prejudice to these appellants by the appellees’ delay in filing their answer.”
