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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In an action to recover upon a bill receivable or other credit subject to taxation under the Intangible Tax Law, plaintiff must allege and prove that such obligation has been listed and assessed for taxation and all taxes, interest and penalties paid. Failure to so allege and prove leaves the trial court without jurisdiction to render judgment thereon, and the action should be dismissed.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Jones v. Livingston““The judgment is vacated, with directions to the trial court to hear and determine whether or not there has been a compliance with the Intangible Tax Law. If plaintiff establishes compliance, then judgment should be rendered for the plaintiff. If plaintiff fails to establish compliance with such law, then his action should be dismissed.””
