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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“«‘a it it where a court has jurisdiction of the subject matter and the parties its judgments or decrees cannot be questioned collaterally, no matter how erroneously they may be. (Spring v. Kane, 86 Ill. 580 ; Swiggart v. Harber, 4 Scam. 364 ; Marsh v. Irwin, 168 Ill. 50 ; Stempel v. Thomas, 89 id. 146 .) The judgments and decrees of courts having jurisdiction are final and conclusive between the parties until reversed in a direct proceeding in the manner provided by law, and they are immune from collateral attack. The immunity rests upon the power to hear and determine the cause, and it is not affected by any error, however gross.’” ( 336 Ill.App. 258, 265 .)”
