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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a grant of existence is awarded a corporation, it is subject to the laws in existence at that time. 18 C.J.S. Corporations §§ 69-71. We hold that the right to renew, which vests no property rights, Wm. Warnock Co. v. H. D. Hudson Mfg. Co., 200 Minn. 196 , 273 N.W. 710 (1937), 18 Am.Jur.2d Corporations § 69, when exercised, is, in effect, a renegotiation with the state and a renewal is a new grant of the privilege of fictitious existence. Accordingly, the new contract is subject to the laws of the life-giving entity in effect at that time. We hold that the mandatory provisions of the Arizona Constitution and statutes are binding upon a corporation either formed after the enactment of such provisions, or renewed subsequent to such provisions although initially incorporated prior to such provisions. This does not make the passage of corporation laws retrospective; rather, it recognizes that when a corporation renews its existence it then breathes a new life which includes all laws then in effect.”
