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.
““A constructive remedy is a remedy employed by the courts to convert the holder of legal title to property into a trustee ‘for one who in good conscience should reap the benefits of the possession of said property.’ The remedy is applied where property has been acquired by fraud, misrepresentation, or other improper method, or where the circumstances render it inequitable for the title holder to retain the property. The purpose of imposing a constructive trust is to prevent the unjust enrichment of the holder.””
