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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Rule 1030 requires the filing of ‘affirmative’ defenses by the defendant under new matter to the plaintiff’s statement of claim in his complaint. This means that the defendant ‘seeks no relief from the plaintiff except the denial of the plaintiff’s claim. No judgment in favor of the defendant is sought.’... In other words, new matter is to consist of allegations of fact extrinsic of those averred in the statement of claim . . . and is ‘in the nature of the common-law plea of confession and avoidance.’ . . . Anything else pleaded in new matter would be consid ered a traverse, setoff or counterclaim, and not a true ‘affirmative’ defense as that phrase has come to mean in the realm of pleading in Pennsylvania.” Id. at 541, 530 A.2d at 443 .
