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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The phrase "forced sale" does not apply where the owner consents directly to the sale, or does so indirectly by consenting to, or doing those acts or things that necessarily or usually eventuate in a sale, as, for instance, a sale under a power contained in a mort gage or a decree of foreclosure. When the owner of property consents to a sale under the execution or other legal process, the sale is not forced, but it is as voluntary, within the full import of the term, as it is when he directly effects the sale and executes the conveyance.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The word "grant" as used in [the statute] is applicable to all transfers of real estate and this would include transfers by operation of law as well as the voluntary transfers of the owners of property. The sale under the decree of foreclosure of a mortgage is a judicial sale and is regarded in law as a sale by the judgment debtor. (Thresher v. Atchison, 117 Cal. 73 [ 48 Pac. 1020 , 59 Am. St. Rep. 159 ]; 18 Cal. Jur. 547.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The sale of a homestead under a deed of trust, or under a decree of foreclosure of mortgage thereon, is not a ‘forced sale,’ within the meaning of the constitution, which exempts a homestead from a ‘forced sale.’ ””
