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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the modern view that valuable contractual rights should not be surrendered or forfeitures suffered by a slight delay in performance unless such intention clearly appears from the contract or where specific enforcement [upon the seller] will work injustice after a delayed tender. As we observed in Martinez [ v. Martinez, 101 N.M. 88, 92 , 678 P.2d 1163, 1167 (1984)], the courts' disapproval of forfeitures is longstanding; we are not compelled in every case to enforce a real estate contract when fairness and legal principles dictate that we should not. A forfeiture declaration is essentially an equitable remedy. It therefore makes perfectly good sense to apply equitable principles in determining whether a vendor under an installment land sale contract will be permitted to declare a forfeiture.”
