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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the statute as it formerly existed a sale made in conformity with law was ordinarily confirmed, but the amended statute relating to confirmation of sheriff’s sales requires that the sale be made not only in conformity with law, but also in conformity with equitable principles. (R. S. 60-3463.) So it is that under the present statute a sale may be set aside, although regularly made, upon equitable grounds. (Anschutz v. Steinwand, 97 Kan. 89 , 154 Pac. 252 . See, also, Bank v. Murray, 84 Kan. 524 , 114 Pac. 847 .) The court has a reasonable discretion in determining whether a sale shall be confirmed or not, to be exercised on equitable principles.” (p. 794.)”
