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.

1. “"... In the present case, by analogy, where limits of liability only have been dealt with there is not a ‘final judgment.’ Allowing this appeal would constitute piecemeal litigation. The jurisprudence holds that before an appeal can be taken there must be a final judgment. One cannot appeal from a piecemeal judg ment such as the declaratory judgment in this case.””

2. “Courts of record within their respective jurisdictions may declare rights, status, and other legal relations whether or not further relief is or could be claimed. No action or proceeding shall be open to objection on the ground that a declaratory judgment or decree is prayed for; and the existence of another adequate remedy does not preclude a judgment for declaratory relief in cases where it is appropriate. The declaration shall have the force and effect of a final judgment or decree. (Emphasis ours)”
