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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The district attorney is authorized to bring suit against persons unlawfully receiving money to recover the money paid, plus a penalty. (Gov. Code, § 26525.) This action lies against the person receiving the money, not the person allowing it. (County of Santa Barbara v. Janssens, 177 Cal. 114 [ 169 P. 1025 , L.R.A. 1918C 558 ]; Merriam v. Board of Supervisors, 72 Cal. 517 [ 14 P. 137 ].) There may be other sections dealing with the same subject matter, but we have found no general law, and have been referred to none, imposing liability on a county officer who in good faith erroneously allows a claim where money is available to pay it. . . The complaint here involved does not charge bad faith on the part of Brown, and without such an allegation the complaint is fatally defective—a point that can be raised at any time. ’ ’”
