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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“shall be the sole remedy of the vendor for repossession of property sold under a land installment contract executed after July 1, 1951, and that as to such contracts executed prior to July 1, 1951, the foregoing remedy shall also be available in lieu of any summary remedies provided by law for landlord and tenant cases, which summary remedies are hereby made inapplicable to actions arising out of such contracts”
