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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule that this court will not reverse on grounds not considered by the court below but raised for the first time on appeal, will not be applied where there has been some basic or fundamental error seriously affecting the merits of the case. Thus in Provident Life & Trust Co. v. Phila., 202 Pa. 78, 81 , this court said, (page 81): `Where there has been a fair and careful trial, an objection raised for the first time in an appellate court should not lead to a reversal unless it is a serious one and affects the merits: Knapp v. Griffin, 140 Pa. 604 ; Jaffray v. Frothingham, 148 Pa. 213 ; Krepps v. Carlisle, 157 Pa. 358 ; Halfman v. Penna. Boiler Ins. Co., 160 Pa. 202 .' And in Sikorski v. Phila. & Reading R.R. Co., 260 Pa. 243 , we said in an opinion by our present Chief Justice (page 249): `In fact, the proper maintenance of the long established and just rule that a trial court will not be reviewed on matters in no way called to its attention, unless for basic and fundamental error imperatively calling for reversal, requires that the provision in question be so construed.' See also Stone v. Stone, 277 Pa. 277, 278 , and cases cited.”
