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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““authorizes a court to impose sanctions in the course of an action under its supervision. Those sanctions might include an order to reimburse expenses which an adversary incurred to meet unjustified pleadings. Cf. Stevens v. Kiraly (1985), 24 Ohio App.3d 211, 213-215 , 24 OBR 388, 390-392, 494 N.E.2d 1160, 1163-1165 ; and Leinweber v. Cox (App.1983), 5 OBR 172, 173. However, they will not subject the signer to liability for the adversary’s cause of action. The rule does not create an independent cause of action cognizable in a separate suit. Cf. Border City S. & L. Assn. v. Moan (1984), 15 Ohio St.3d 65 , 67 15 OBR 159, 161, 472 N.E.2d 350, 352 , at fn. 1.””
