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.
“It is settled that interest is not due on judgments which are silent as to interest, except where specifically provided by statute [for tort cases].... Plaintiff was entitled to interest on past due alimony payments. However, the executo-ry judgment which failed to provide for legal interest is now final. Therefore, the garnishment decree should not have included legal interest.”
