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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The purpose of the notice is to give the taxpayer an opportunity to pay his taxes before the title, by operation of law, passes from him. (Bank of Lemoore v. Fulgham, 151 Cal. 234 [ 90 Pac. 936 ].) While we use an expression denoting that he is divested of title, it is not literally true where the deed is not to be issued until after five years have elapsed. It is said in Santa Barbara v. Savings & Loan Soc., 137 Cal. 463 [ 70 Pac. 457 ] : 'Such sale vests an equitable title in the state, and at the expiration of five years, if the property is not redeemed in the meantime, the deed of the tax collector to the state vests in it the legal title, and the controller may then direct the tax collector to sell at public auction, to the highest bidder, at a sum not less than all the delinquent taxes, penalties, and interest. ’ ””
