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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Other courts take the view that on an accounting a mortgagee in possession will be charged not only with the rent actually received, but also with that which, with reasonable diligence,, should have been received from the-mortgaged premises during the period, of his possession. This rule is particularly applicable where there has been, bad faith, wilful default, fraud, or neglect. If the mortgagee does not keep an accurate account of the rents received, he may be charged with the fair rental value thereof.’ ””
