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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * A purchaser of an undivided interest in real estate at a mortgage foreclosure sale may file a bill in equity to sell said real estate for division among joint owners while the statutory right of redemption is still outstanding. * * * “But such purchaser’s right to a sale of the real estate may be defeated by a compliance with our statutory requirements relative to the statutory right of redemption before a sale is made. The right to a sale for division under these circumstances is subordinate to the paramount right to redeem.””
