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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As to count V the evidence shows that the loan from Mutual to the Corporation of July 1, 1952, included lots 48 and 51 through 57 of tract 17209, and that in accordance with the contract and in reliance upon the representations by the defendant to Mutual that all bills were paid for construction and labor on the lots above set forth a check was issued by Mutual to the Corporation for $10,330.88, and the funds were received by the Corporation. The representations so made by the defendant were false, as shown by the books of the Corporation as of January 22, 1953, and the funds were not used for the purposes for which they were paid to the Corporation by Mutual, but were used by the defendant for his own purposes as hereinafter related.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In respect to the claim that the Corporation was defendant's alter ego, the jury had ample evidence from which they could, and did determine that there was a distinct, formal corporate existence. However, even where the circumstances indicate that all of the capital stock of a corporation is owned or controlled by one person, this does not necessarily destroy its separate existence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“An officer or agent of a corporation cannot take money of the corporation which is entrusted to him, or which comes into his possession by virtue of his office or agency, and use it even temporarily for his personal benefit and avoid criminal responsibility by calling it a loan. The law calls such a transaction a wrongful conversion, from which a fraudulent intent can be inferred.”
