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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We may assume that if the plan were shown to be illegal, untra vires or fraudulent, it might be set aside by a court of equity. Shaw v. Davis, 78 Md. 308, 316 [ 28 A. 619, 621 ]. We may also assume that an equity court may set aside a transaction whereby majority stockholders use their voting power for their own benefit, for some ulterior purpose adverse to the interests of the corporation and its stockholders as such. Cooperative Milk Service v. Hepner, 198 Md. 104, 114 , 81 A.2d 219, 224 .””
