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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The “evidentiary posture” exception remains well-recognized in the one post-CPA civil context where the law of the case doctrine still strictly applies, notwithstanding the unqualified language of OCGA § 9-11-60 (h) that “any ruling by the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals in a case shall be binding in all subsequent proceedings in that case in the lower court.” See, e.g., IH Riverdale, LLC v. McChesney Capital Partners, LLC, 292 Ga. App. 841, 843 ( 666 SE2d 8 ) (2008) (“An exception exists where the evidentiary posture of the case changes in the trial court after the appellate court decision.”).”

2. “While final judgments may not be modified after the term in which they were rendered, an interlocutory ruling does not pass from the control of the court at the end of the term if the cause remains pending. Such rulings are subject to revision at any time before final judgment unless the court issues an order upon express direction under OCGA § 9-11-54 (b).”
