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.
“By virtue of the judgment obtained on the note prior to foreclosure sale, [appellee would be] indebted to [appellant] for the full amount of such judgment. Because of this prior judgment, [appellee would be] liable to [appellant] for any sum remaining after application of the proceeds of the foreclosure sale. Thus, there [would be] no purpose to be served by [appellant] filing the petition for confirmation of the sale under power because no action for deficiency [would be] necessary. [Cit.]”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“When the creditor wishes to exercise a power of foreclosure prior to obtaining a judgment on the note and thereby save time and expense, he will be required to comply with the confirmation statute before instituting [or continuing] any action for a deficiency judgment.”
