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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““dominion or control over [the] deeds or to vest title to the property in the grantees. In fact, the record is clear that his intention was exactly the opposite. He retained possession of the deeds in his bank box, retained the keys to the box in his own possession, and paid the taxes on the land for the intervening years until his death.” Frederick, 178 N.W.2d at 838 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Estoppel is based upon misleading words or conduct of one who is to be estopped, relied upon by the party claiming the benefit of the estoppel, which words or conduct induced the party claiming an estoppel to act or to refrain from acting, to his prejudice." Frederick v. Frederick, 178 N.W.2d 834 at 839 (N.D. 1970).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Under North Dakota law, conveyance by deed takes effect upon delivery of the deed by the grantor. Sec. 47-09-06, N.D. C.C. Such delivery may not be conditional, but must be absolute. Sec. 47-09-07, N.D.C.C. Whether there has or has not been delivery of a deed may be determined from the intention of the grantor. McGuigan v. Heuer, 66 N.D. 710 , 268 N.W. 679 . And such delivery may be inferred from some act or declaration of the grantor. Shuck v. Shuck, 77 N.D. 628 , 44 N.W.2d 767 . Unless there has been a delivery of the deed, the deed is of no effect. Stark County v. Koch, 107 N.W.2d 701 (N.D.1961).” (Emphasis added.) 178 N.W.2d at 837 .”
