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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is a general rule that in an action for a partnership accounting and dissolution the entire partnership property will be converted into cash, (citations omitted) .... The rule is especially applicable when there are partnership debts; in fact, at least one court has stated that a partition of partnership property can only be made when there are no partnership debts owing to third parties, (citations omitted)... . C.R.S. ’53, 104-1-38, embodies the essence of the same rule by providing that in cases of dissolution, unless otherwise agreed, each partner as against the other partners may have the partnership property applied to discharge partnership liabilities, and the surplus applied to a cash payment of any amount owing to the respective partners, (citations omitted).... A sale of partnership property provides the best method not only of determining the value of the property, but also of discharging existing partnership indebtedness and precisely settling the account of the partners out of the surplus.” Davis, supra, at 5 , 366 P.2d at 859 (emphasis added).”
