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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The .benefit, if any, to lienholders is incidental. In refinancing a home owner’s obligations the H.O.L.C. seeks to readjust them in accordance with the ability of the home owner to make payments. The beneficial effect of such readjustment is nullified if a lienholder is permitted, without regulation, to defeat the purpose of the act. >An arrangement such as here exacted by a lienholder tends to counteract the relief of the home owner sought by the act and is contrary to the purpose of the act and to the regulations adopted thereunder.””
