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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Courts of equity are adverse to interfering ex parte, and will not ordinarily entertain an application for the appointment of a receiver, except upon notice to the adverse party. Such a court has no more power than any other court to condemn a man unheard and to dispossess him of property prima facie his, and hand over its enjoyment to another on an ex parte claim for it. It should therefore exercise extreme caution in the appointment of receivers on ex parte applications, and be careful that a proper case is presented before it acts, and it should not be done without notice to the party whose property is to be affected, except in cases of the greatest emergency, demanding immediate interference of the court.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Amason v. Harrigan“Moreover, it has been held that a receiver will not be appointed without notice when a court has the powers to grant a temporary restraining order without notice, and the same is ample to protect the property until notice is given and the application for a receiver heard and determined.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Amason v. Harrigan““Apart ftom the question of the parties being numerous, the rule of representation has been applied to defendants representing as trustees all parties having a beneficial interest in the subject-matter.””
