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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is the general rule that the doctrine of res judicata does not apply in the absence of a final judgment. . . . There are exceptions, however, to this rule, and we believe this case falls within one of the exceptions; namely, that a verdict alone is binding if the parties acquiesce in it. . . . Although in the instant case there were some concessions made by the winning party, the payment of the major portion of the verdict amounted to an acquiescence by the losing party in the facts found by the jury.””

Palik““This payment of the defendant’s costs in that action was an acquiescence in the verdict, a renunciation of the right to prosecute the claims further, an equivalent to a judgment on the verdict as a conclusive bar' of the claims.””
