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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is conceded that permission to.file pleadings out of time rests within the discretion of the court. Section 5646, Comp. Laws' 1909, is as follows: ‘The court, or any judge thereof in vacation, may, 'in his discretion, and upon such terms as may be just, allow an answer or reply to be made, or other act to be done, after the time limited by this act, or by an order enlarge such time.’ This discretion, of course, must be held to mean a. sound judicial discretion, to be exercised justly and fairly in the light of the situation presented. It must not be exercised arbitrarily or in caprice.””
