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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The effect of the `union mortgage clause,' providing, among other things, that the insurance, as to the interest of the mortgagee, shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of the mortgagor, nor by any change in title or possession, provided the mortgagee shall notify the company of any change coming to the mortgagee's knowledge, and that when the company shall pay the mortgagee for a loss, and the claim that no liability existed as to the mortgagor, it shall be subrogated to all rights of the mortgagee under securities held, when such clause is attached *Page 327 to an existing policy of insurance running to the mortgagor, is to make a new and separate contract between the mortgagee and the insurance company, and to effect a separate insurance of the interest of the mortgagee, dependent for its validity solely upon the course of action of the insurance company and the mortgagee, and unaffected by any act or neglect of the mortgagor, of which the mortgagee is ignorant, whether such act or neglect was done or permitted prior or subsequent to the issue of the mortgage clause.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Where there is embraced in a fire insurance policy what is known as a `New York standard mortgagee clause,' and in connection therewith and as a part thereof the following: `That in case the mortgagor or owner shall neglect to pay any premium due under this policy, the mortgagee (or trustee) shall, on demand, pay the same,' and where the mortgagee has knowledge of this provision in the policy, or knowingly accepts benefits therefrom, it amounts to a contract on his part to pay the premium due on the policy if the owner fails to pay.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“We feel safe in holding that the word `provided' ordinarily indicates that a condition follows, but that `there is no magic in the term,' but the clause in a contract or written instrument following the word `provided' is to be construed from the words employed and from the purposes of the parties gathered from the whole instrument.'”
