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

1. ““11 O.S.1941 § 107 which grants a bondholder the right to institute an action to foreclose an assessment lien precludes any other or further action to collect such assessments when an action thereunder has been commenced and has proceeded to judgment. When such judgment has become finally dormant the remedy for the enforcement of the lien becomes effectively lost. In such circumstances the commencement of the action under section 107 ceases to operate in toll of the three year period of limitation provided in 11 O.S.1941 § 242 for the commencement of action and the preservation of the lien, and under section 242 the lien ceases to exist and becomes subject to cancellation.””
