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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The fact that the plaintiff in the present suit, has added two additional theories of recovery — ’common law tort’ and fraud — to the bond theory upon which the second suit was based, is not material. The parties were the same in each suit, and each count or theory of the second suit, is bottomed on the same duties allegedly owed by defendant — duties which were the basis for the recovery in the second suit. The question of what rights, if any, arose from such alleged duties, was adjudicated in the prior suit. That determination is conclusive upon us. The People v. Harrison, 253 Ill[.] 625, 628, 97 N[.]E[.] 1092 (1912); Godschalck v. Weber, 247 Ill[.] 269, 274, 275, 93 N[.]E[J 241 (1910); Chas. Ind[.] Co. v. Cecil B. Wood, Inc., 56 Ill[.] App[.] 2d 30, 36, 205 N[.]E[.]2d 786 (1965); Franciscy v. Jordan, 43 Ill[.] App[.] 2d 344, 351, 357, 193 N[.]E[.]2d 219 (1963); Life Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. v. Marshall Field, [ 327 Ill. App. 486 ,] 490[, 64 N.E.2d 383 ]. The law affords every man his day in court along with the opportunity to present his case on the issues involved; and it requires that he bring forth all grounds of recovery or defense which he may then have. 'It is of first importance both in the observance of private rights and the public good that a question once adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be considered as finally settled and conclusive upon the parties, subject only to proceedings in a court of review.’ Winkelman v. Winkelman, 310 Il”
