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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If either or both parties to such subsequent marriage were incompetent to contract, the court by the' judgment may decide that a child of the marriage is the legitimate child of such an incompetent.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““In so doing the Administrator should find the facts pertinent to a decision of legitimacy tinder Section 1135(6) of the Civil Practice Act. As such findings have not yet been made so far as now appears, it is necessary to remand for that purpose. The critical fact is whether when the marriage in Connecticut was performed the decedent entered into it in good faith in the belief that his former marriage and that of Alberta had been lawfully dissolved by the Mexican divorces.””
