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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under this contract the [fire] insurance company, in consideration of the premium paid to it, has assumed specified risks and has agreed to pay money to the parties insured upon the happening of certain events. Such a policy is a personal contract, appertaining to the parties to the contract and not to the thing which is subject to the risk insurance against. 29 Am.Jur., Insurance, § 183, p. 575. Proceeds payable thereunder when an insured loss occurs take the place of the building destroyed only in the sense of being a thing of like value, not necessarily of like ownership.” (Emphasis added).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“It may be conceded that the plaintiff husband had an insurable interest in the property of which he and his wife were seized as tenants by the entirety. However, since the proprietary interest of the husband was an inseparable part of the single-entity title held in unity by him and his wife, his insurable interest ran to the whole of the property and covered the entire estate. [Citations omitted.] We conclude that the insurance policy as written and the loss benefits created thereby inured to the benefit of the entire estate as owned by both husband and wife. (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Unless otherwise provided by their joint and voluntary agreement and in the absence of an absolute divorce, we are of (the) opinion and so decide that such involuntary transfer of title does not destroy or dissolve the estate by the entirety in the respect of the appropriated portion of the Myers’ land, and that the compensation paid by the Commission therefor has the status of real property owned by husband and wife as tenants by the entirety.””
