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.

1. ““It is an elementary principle of law that when ah appeal is taken every intendment is to be indulged in which tends to support the judgment, and every reasonable inference that may be drawn from the facts which tend to support a finding must be accepted. (Estate of Bristol, 23 Cal.2d 221, 223 [ 143 P.2d 689 ].) The construction of the evidence is to be in support of the finding (Patten & Davies Lbr. Co. v. McConville, 219 Cal. 161, 164 [ 25 P.2d 429 ]), with all conflicts resolved in favor of the respondent. It may also be said that when the charge is made that, the evidence is not sufficient to sustain the determination of the trial court, ‘such contention requires’ the appellant ‘to demonstrate that there is no substantial evidence to support the challenged findings’ {Nichols v. Mitchell, 32 Cal.2d 598, 600 [ 197 P.2d 550 ]).””
