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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction is conclusive between the parties and their privies in a subsequent action involving the same subject matter, not only as to all matters actually litigated and determined in the former action, but as to all matters germane to issues, which could or might have been litigated and determined therein.” Staples v. Jenkins et al., 178 Okla. 186 , 62 P. 2d 504 ; Wheeler v. Smoot, 183 Okla. 447 , 83 P. 2d 186 ; Factor Oil Co. v. Brydia, 184 Okla. 113 , 85 P. 2d 311 .”
