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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Marketable title’ means a title free and clear from reasonable doubt as to matters of law and fact, such a title as a prudent man, advised of the facts and their legal significance would willingly accept.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Generally the courts have held that a title, such as an equitable title or limitation title, or one which exposes its holder to a reasonable probability of litigation, with the least chance of defeat, is not marketable. Thus, further, it has been held that a title is not marketable if clouded by any outstanding contract, covenant, interest, lien, or mortgage sufficient to form a basis of litigation.””
