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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There appears to be no Oklahoma case directly in point on this question. The questions involved are purely equitable, hence we must apply equitable principles to arrive at the correct solution. In Richardson v. American Surety Co., 97 Okla. 264 , 223 P. 389, 392 , cited above, the court said: ‘The principle to be derived from the doctrine of subrogation is that it is born of equity, and results from the natural justice of placing the burden where it ought to rest. It does not flow from any fixed rule of law, but rather from principles of justice, equity, and benevolence. It is a purely equitable result, depending, like other equitable doctrines, upon the facts and circumstances of each particular case to call it forth. . . .’ ””
