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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court first raised the issue of fees at the conclusion of the hearing on Mrs. Koch’s motion to set aside the MSA. At that time, the court stated that it was not going to grant fees to either party because “we haven’t had a fee hearing” but that it was going to reserve ruling on the issue of fees. Thereafter, at the conclusion of the subsequent fee hearing, the court specifically stated twice, “I am inclined to award fees to them, because I do recall the course of the litigation” and “I would be inclined to order some fees, if I can.” The court’s only concern was whether it had the legal authority to award fees if Mr. Koch had not properly pleaded a request for fees. At the end of the hearing, the court indicated that it would look into whether it was nevertheless legally entitled to award fees. Based on the foregoing, the record does not support a conclusion that the trial court was simply “adopting” Mr. Koch’s motion for fees.”
