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 90 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is proper to render a default judgment against the defendant as liability has been admitted or `confessed' by the omission of statements refuting the plaintiff's claims.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage“"(A) Entry of judgment. When a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend as provided by these rules, the party entitled to a judgment by default shall apply in writing *** to the court ***. ***If, in order to enable the court to enter judgment or to carry it into effect, it is necessary to take an account or to determine the amount of damages or to establish the truth of any averment by evidence or to make an investigation of any other matter, the court may conduct such hearings or order such references as it deems necessary and proper and shall when applicable accord a right of trial by jury to the parties."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Current Civ. R. 55(A) also incorporates this long-standing concept that a.default judgment is proper when, and only when, a defendant has not contested the plaintiff’s allegations by pleading or ‘otherwise defendpng]’ such that no issues are present in this case. Civ. R. 55(A) provides that a default judgment may be rendered ‘[w]hen a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend as provided by these rules * * *.’ Significantly, the Staff Note to Civ. R. 55 cites with approval a case in which the recognition of the default judgment’s applicability only as a means of disposing of noncontested cases was crucial.” (Emphasis added in part.)”
