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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A prime requisite to the establishment of a valid mechanic's lien is that an indebtedness exists in favor of the claimant for labor or materials.
