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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On its face, Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 83, §18 permits only a defendant to plead an otherwise barred set-off or counterclaim. And while Crowley is a named defendant vis a vis the Eddys, she is not merely a defendant vis a vis Williams. Rather, she is an active litigant seeking relief for her injuries, as a cross-claimant, from a passive co-party. # # # Further, Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 83, §18 permits a defendant to plead a set-off or counterclaim barred by the statute of limitations only to any action, the cause of which was owned by the plaintiff before said set-off or counterclaim was barred. Carnahan v. McKinley, 80 Ill. App. 2d 318, 321 , 224 N.E.2d 297, 299 (5th Dist. 1967). (emphasis added). Crowley, however, is not pleading against the plaintiff and her claim must be dismissed for this reason also. Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 83, §18 permits Crowley to assert any claim she might have in response to that for which she is being sued but does not, in this court’s opinion, allow her to plead an otherwise stale claim against Williams.” 434 F. Supp. 447, 448 .”

Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 83, par. 18.”
