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.
““By virtue of W.Va.Code, 37-4-3, a party desiring to compel partition through sale is required to demonstrate that the property cannot be conveniently partitioned in kind, that the interests of one or more of the parties will be promoted by the sale, and that the interests of the other parties will not be prejudiced by the sale.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“A partition sale is a forced sale, and for that reason courts have been hesitant to find that a bid substantially below an appraised value or an arm’s length transaction value is so grossly inadequate to shock the conscience. Bids often amounting to only 50% or less of the appraised or arm’s length value have been upheld.”
