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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule of liability for an accounting for use or rent for occupancy of the joint property by a cotenant is that, in absence of an agreement to pay rent to the other cotenants, mere occupancy of the premises owned in common, by one of the tenants in common, does not result in a liability to the other cotenants to account or for use and occupation of the estate. Cochran v. Leonard, supra; Phillips v. Smith, 214 Ala. 382 , 107 So. 841 ; Newbold v. Smart, 67 Ala. 326, 331 .””
