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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]n improperly specified return date affects the court's jurisdiction . . . . [An] incorrect return date should not be viewed lightly. The defect of an improper return day is a defect which could not be corrected at all until [General Statutes] § 52-72 was enacted . . . [I]t is the actual return of the writ to the court which really puts the action before the court and empowers the court to proceed . . . . Until such time as a proper return is made to the court, it lacks jurisdiction to consider the CT Page 2691 matter.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“`Statutory limitations . . . for the return of process implement the speedy determination of the issues involved. . . . Such time limitations on the enforcement of a right, created by statute and not existing at common law, [are] a part of the right and must be met in order to provide a court with jurisdiction to hear the cause of action. . . .'”
