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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unsworn statements do not establish facts. In this case, the trial court improperly relied upon the unsworn statements allegedly made by [the husband’s former lawyer’s] paralegal, who repeated them to [the wife’s] counsel, who relayed them to the court, to determine that [the husband] had received notice of the final hearing. The “evidence” relied on by the trial court as the basis for denial of the continuance was not competent. The denial of [the husband’s] request for a continuance thus was an abuse of discretion.”
