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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A judgment at law is a unit. A decree in equity may have the effect of several separate decrees. (Walker v. Montgomery, 236 Ill. 244 .) An appeal may be taken from that part of a» decree which deals with a particular subject, and such an appeal operates as a severance in the trial court of the parties and questions not concerned in the appeal. (Mussey v. Shaw, 274 Ill. 351 .) The test is whether the decree or order appealed from determines the ultimate rights of the parties with respect to distinct matters which have no bearing on other matters left for further consideration. (Sebree v. Sebree, 293 Ill. 228 ; City of Park Ridge v. Murphy, 258 id. 365 ; People v. Vogt, 262 id. 170.) The circuit court by its order of dismissal determined finally the rights of the parties with reference to a definite and separate portion of the subject matter of the controversy, hence the order was appealable, and the Appellate Court properly denied the motion to dismiss the appeal. ’ ’”
