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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence was sufficient to support the finding of the trial court that plaintiffs did not comply with the requirements of the Bulk Sales Law; that, therefore, the sale was void as to creditors of the motor company, and plaintiffs became accountable to them for the assets of the company that came into their hands by reason of such sale, notwithstanding the uncon-troverted proof that plaintiffs acted in perfect good faith in the transaction and relied on assurances given by Nance that there were no outstanding liabilities of the company.””
