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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The cases on the subject are far from clear, but we think they support the proposition that after a judgment or decree is affirmed on appeal, the lower court may not entertain a motion to reopen, and the same rule applies to a reversal and remand for further proceedings, as to matters decided by the appellate court.’ See Pinkney v. Jay & Mason, 12 Gill & J. 69; McClellan v. Crook, 7 Gill 333 ; Young v. Frost, 1 Md. 377 ; Maryland Steel Co. v. Marney, 91 Md. 360 [ 46 A. 1077 ]; Winter’s Executors v. Gittings, 102 Md. 464 [ 62 A. 1033 ]; United Rys. Co. v. Corbin, 109 Md. 52 [ 71 A. 131 ]; Rent-A-Car Co. v. Fire Ins. Co., 166 Md. 447 [ 171 A. 350 ].””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“If a motion to modify judgment is filed within the 30-day period, it may be heard by the trial court for a "reasonable” time thereafter. This delay, which may extend beyond the date of enrollment of the judgment, is allowed, apparently,, for the orderly processes of the court. It is, for example, frequently impossible to schedule an immediate hearing on a motion. Where both a motion to modify judgment and an appeal are filed within 30 days, by the time set for the hearing on the motion, the proponent must elect between pursuing the motion and pursuing the appeal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““A sound public policy requires that there be an end of litigation between the same parties growing out of the same facts. In cases where there has been an adversary trial between the parties, a judgment rendered by the trial court, and that judgment affirmed by this court, without a remand for further proceedings, it is an end of that litigation, and the trial court has no jurisdiction to strike out the judgment.””
