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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Dismissal of a party’s cause of action ‘is a drastic sanction and should be employed only as a last resort, when the uncooperative party shows “a deliberate, contumacious or unwarranted disregard of the court’s authority” [Citations.].’ (Department of Transportation v. Zabel (1975), 29 Ill. App. 3d 407, 410 , 330 N.E.2d 878, 880 , accord, Booth v. Sutton (1968), 100 Ill. App. 2d 410 , 241 N.E.2d 488 .) In any event, the sanction order entered must be just. As stated in In re Estate of Fado (1976), 43 Ill. App. 3d 759, 763 , 357 N.E.2d 195, 198 , a just order is one which, to the degree possible, assures both discovery and trial on the merits.””
