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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The function of orders nunc pro tunc is to correct irregularities in the entry of judicial mandates or like procedural errors. ... “When a ruling has in fact been made but is improperly evidenced by a defective mandate, or by no mandate at all, an appropriate and suitable order or judgment which manifests the existence of a determination may subsequently be granted to take effect as of the date of such determination.” Merrick v. Merrick, [ 266 N.Y. 120, 122 , 194 N.E. 55 ] [(1934)]. However, ... “[a] court has no power to have a new order or ruling so entered, thus bringing into the record an element which did not previously exist.””
