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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was the duty of respondent to protect the appellants’ property against any lien preferred by the lumber company. The owners are entitled to setoff, against their obligation to pay plaintiff so much as the labor he performed and the materials he furnished are reasonably worth, the counter obligation of plaintiff to indemnify them for any amount they have been compelled to pay to relieve their property from liens filed thereon to secure plaintiff’s debts, including the attorney’s fees and costs in the suits to enforce the liens. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 1193; Clancy v. Plover, 107 Cal. 272, 275 [ 40 Pac. 394 ]; Covell v. Washburn, 91 Cal. 560, 563 [ 27 Pac. 859 ]; see, also, Holden v. Mensinger, 175 Cal. 300, 305 [ 165 Pac. 950 ].)””
