These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “We take the foregoing expressions to be strongly indicative of the view that the defendant is not released from the personal jurisdiction of the court with respect to those reserved matters. If, therefore, the parties are not fully released from the personal jurisdiction of the court, they would not under the strict rule of procedure in a pending cause be entitled to notice, yet courts are generally solicitors of fairness and require notice where its absence might work an injustice to a litigant. Somewhat of an analogy to the present situation exists in the Declaratory Judgment Statute. Code Section 8842 provides for further relief after entry of the declaratory judgment by petition upon reasonable notice to the adverse party. The divorce statute does not in terms require notice of a subsequent petition, but it is to be assumed that any court would require it if deemed appropriate to the ends of fairness. 33 Tenn.App. at 330 , 232 S.W.2d at 63 .”
