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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Uniform law is expressly made alternative to the right of a judgment creditor to bring an action to enforce a foreign judgment^ 2 ] The uniform law provides a summary procedure for endowing a filed foreign judgment with the same effect as a judgment of the court in which it is filed. It is not a new action but merely picks up where it was left off in the state where rendered. [[Image here]] Thus, OCGA s 9-3-20 [Georgia’s five-year statute of limitations on actions on foreign judgments] is not applicable to filings under the uniform law. Rather, a foreign judgment so filed stands in the same shoes as a judgment of the court in which it is filed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Fairbanks v. Large“That statute provided in pertinent part: “It is lawful for any person against whom an action is commenced in any court of this state, wherein the cause of action accrued without this state ... upon a judgment or decree rendered in any court without this state more than six years before the commencement of the action in this state to plead the same in bar of the action in this state.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he Uniform Act provides “a viable alternative to the traditional method of enforcing foreign judgments by a separate lawsuit.... The [Uniform] Act does not involve the institution of an action to enforce the judgment; it requires, to give the foreign judgment immediate legally enforceable consequences, only that it be filed in accordance with its provisions.””
