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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Generally, the right to appeal the imposition of a particular discovery sanction is an adequate remedy precluding mandamus relief. An appellate remedy is not inadequate merely because it might involve more delay or cost than mandamus. However, a party will not have an adequate remedy by appeal where the parly’s ability to present a viable claim or defense at trial is vitiated or severely compromised by the trial court’s discovery order. It is not enough to show merely the delay, inconvenience, or expense of an appeal; rather, the relator must establish the effective denial of a reasonable opportunity to develop the merits of his or her case, so that the trial would be a waste of judicial resources.”
