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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he award of attorney fees in this case is supported neither by statute nor by case law. In reversing the trial court’s award of attorneys fees, we adhere to the rule stated in State v. Lujan, 43 N.M. 348 , 93 P.2d 1002 (1939), that each party to litigation must pay his own counsel fees. This case does not fall within any of the exceptions stated in Gregg v. Gardner, 73 N.M. 347 , 388 P.2d 68 (1963), and we choose not to broaden the holding in Marron [Marron v. Wood, 55 N.M. 367 , 233 P.2d 1051 (1951)] to include situations such as that presented in this case.”
