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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order, therefore, that there may be an equitable assignment creating an equitable property, there must be a specific fund, sum or money, or debt actually existing or to become due in the future, and the order must be in effect an assignment of that particular fund or some designated portion thereof. No particular form of words or particular form of instrument is necessary to effect such assignment. Any binding appropriation of it to a particular use is an assignment, or what is the same, a transfer of the ownership.””
