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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) A bank has a security interest in an item and any accompanying documents or the proceeds of either (a) in case of an item deposited in an account to the extent to which credit given for the item has been withdrawn or applied; (b) in case of an item for which it has given credit available for withdrawal as of right, to the extent of the credit given whether or not the credit is drawn upon and whether or not there is a right of charge-back; or (c) if it makes an advance on or against the item.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Possession is a requisite to the status of 'holder in due course'; and therefore following the release of the check ..., the bank could not claim to be a 'holder in due course' as to another claimant who might come into possession of the reissued check.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Holder” means a person who is in possession of . . . an instrument . . . issued or indorsed to him or to his order or to bearer or in blank.”
