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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

7 later decisions quote this exact passage“the legislature intended that the definition of `wrongful lien' should encompass only common law liens.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“because the right to file a mechanic's lien is granted by statute, all mechanic's liens-even if they ultimately prove unenforceable-are expressly authorized by statute and therefore are not wrongful liens.”
