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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . A number of plaintiffs may be joined in one action when they are all injured in a similar manner and are interested in the same sort of relief, and a number of defendants may likewise be joined in one action when they all contributed to the creating of a nuisance. A multiplicity of suits can thus be readily avoided. . . Albaugh v. Abbott (1931), 253 Mich. 588, 593 , 235 N. W. 263 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It was proper to join them, where, as it was shown, each one contributed to the nuisance. Had they not been joined each might have blamed the other for being the cause of the conditions described. They all contributed together towards causing the nuisance, and each one was severally guilty of the charges in the bill of complaint.””
