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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It has been the law of this state since 1861 that the superior court has power to order the issuance of execution on a judgment which became final more than five years before the application therefor. Prior to 1933 such application could be made ex parte. In that year (Stats. 1933, p. 2499) section 685 of the Code of Civil Procedure was amended to add to the provision that a judgment 'may be enforced or carried into execution after the lapse of five years from the date of its entry, by leave of the court upon motion', the requirement 'and after due notice to the judgment debtor' ... as the statute is silent as to the manner of giving notice, personal service is required.”
