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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The fact that a party can avail himself of a remedy in a court of law will not preclude him from obtaining relief in a court of equity unless the legal remedy in respect to the final relief and the mode of securing it, is as efficient as the remedy which a court of equity can afford under the same circumstances.” Pearson v. Richards, 106 Or. 78 ( 211 P. 167 ), and cases there cited. Also see Coppock v. Roberts, 116 Or. 253 ( 240 P. 886 ).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Some authorities take the view that a general covenant against encumbrances is a real covenant and therefore runs with the land, while in a majority of the jurisdictions, including Oregon, the courts hold that it is a personal covenant and therefore does not run with the land: 7 R. C. L. 1105, 1112, 1135, 1163; Sanford v. Wheelan, 12 Or. 301, 307 ( 7 Pac. 324 ).””
