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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Real estate once sold upon order of sale, special execution or general execution shall not again be liable for sale for any balance due upon the judgment or decree under which the same is sold, or any judgment or lien inferior thereto, and under which the holder of such lien had a right to redeem within the fifteen months hereinbefore provided for.” (R. S. 60-3460.-)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The sale was legally made, and the statute gives the owner of the fee the right to redeem by paying the amount of the bid. The exercise of- that right cut off the remedy of the second mortgagee against the land. His loss results from the property having brought at the sale no more than the amount of the first lien.” (p. 121.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. McFall v. Ford · Meyer v. Hurst““Except for the disadvantage referred to, which appears to be a necessary consequence of the statute, and to be in accordance with the general statutory purpose of protecting primarily the interests of the owner whose land is sold on execution or order of sale, the second mortgagee was left in just as favorable a situation as though his lien had been confirmed as a part of the original judgment foreclosing the first mortgage. By exercising his exclusive right to redeem within twelve months after the sale, the owner obtained a title freed from the claim of the second mortgagee, by virtue of the provision of the statute that, [quoting R. S. 60-3460].” (p. 120.)”
