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.
““The term ‘res judicata’ means a thing or a matter that has been definitely and finally settled and determined on its merits by the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“***Under such rule it is quite possible that a proposition may not have been presented by the pleadings yet be so necessarily involved therein, that the decision could not be made without determining the issue. On the other hand, an issue may be presented by the pleadings but may not have been necessarily involved in the determination of the action.***”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ ‘ . . it is not enough even that it appears that the issue presented in the later suit was presented and ought to have been litigated in the former, but it must appear further that it was litigated and decided, as well as involved.’ (Teigen v. Drake, 13 N.D. 502, 508 , 101 N.W. 893 ).””
