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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“§ 15-1-59. Saving in favor of persons under disabilities. If any person entitled to bring any of the personal actions mentioned shall, at the time at which the cause of action accrued, be under the disability of infancy or unsoundness of mind, he may bring the actions within the times in this chapter respectively limited, after his disability shall be removed as provided by law. However, the saving in favor of persons under disability of unsoundness of mind shall never extend longer than twenty-one years.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]o allow the statute of limitations to run during the disability of the minor, the very period through which the minor needs and is entitled to the support of his parents, would defy reason.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“The custodial parent has a duty to care for the children so far as that parent is able to do so, but where court ordered support is involved from the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent is not a real party in interest sufficient to bar the child’s recovery of past-due support payments. The custodial parent is merely the conduit through which the support money passes for the benefit of the children.”
