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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The issuance of shares of stock of a corporation means the act or contract of the corporation by which shares become vested in a person as a member or stockholder. Blythe v. Doheny, 9 Cir., 73 F.2d 799, 803 ; approved in Domestic and Foreign Petroleum Co. v. Long, 4 Cal.2d 547, 554 , 51 P.2d 73 . The time when a share of stock originally comes into existence, and is deemed issued, is controlled by the intent of the parties and is ascertained by examining the contract which they have executed concerning such issue. See Robbins v. Pacific Eastern Corp., 8 Cal.2d 241, 269-270, 274-275 , 65 P.2d 42 ; Hertz-Drivurself Stations v. Ritter, 9 Cir., 91 F.2d 539, 541 . In the Hertz and Robbins cases, it was found, in accordance with the intent of the parties, that title to the shares did not pass until delivery of the certificates. Upon the other hand, in Mitchell v. Beckman, 64 Cal. 117 , 28 P. 110 , it was found, upon the basis of the contract there involved, that title to the stock passed even before payment of the consideration, the court saying: When the corporation has agreed that a person shall be entitled to a certain number of shares in its capital, to be paid for in a manner agreed upon and that person has agreed to take and pay for them accordingly, he becomes their owner by a valid contract made upon a valuable consideration.’ ””
