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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That a land owner is entitled to compensation under the constitution of this state for such damages as were proved and found by the court in this case, is amply sustained by the following authorities: [Citations.] “lie may recover his damages in an action at law, after they have been inflicted [citations] ; or he may prevent the threatened injury by injunction. [Citations.] . . . “. . . ‘Until compensation was made, the city [or its licensee] had no right to damage the plaintiff’s property. Payment of such damage was a condition precedent to the creation of the right; and, until payment, the city was a trespasser. In such a case injunction is the plain, ordinary, and best remedy.’ (Geurhink v. Petaluma, 112 Cal. [306] 310 [ 44 P. 570 ].) . Until compensation has been made to plaintiff for the damage to his property, the ordinance changing the grade is as to him invalid and of no effect. ’ ’ (Italics added.)”
