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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Dryfoos v. Cullinan, 17 Kan. 452 , the court had under consideration the question of whether an administrator who had been guilty of waste and unfaithful administration was entitled to compensation. The court held that he was not. It was said: ‘When a person is unfaithful to a trust confided in him, and compels the parties interested therein to resort to litigation to protect their rights, he forfeits his right to compensation for his services.’ (p. 454.)” (p.790.)”
