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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a subdivision of the state, acting within its delegated governmental capacity, is not impliedly bound by the ordinary statute of limitations.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““It is settled law that [the nonclaim statute] is not a statute of limitation but, instead, imposes a condition precedent to a legal recovery against a solvent estate. In an action on a claim, the due presentation of the claim is a necessary allegation in the complaint, and, lacking such allegation, the complaint is demurrable.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Thus, the statute imposes a condition precedent to the enforcement of a right of action, the nonfulfillment of which extinguishes the right of action, in contrast to a statute of limitation which merely bars the remedy and is to be pleaded as a special defense.”
