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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Obviously the time for redemption must be left to the sound discretion of the trial Court. If the redemption is cut off before sale date, it tends to give credence to judicial sales and to prevent collusion between the mortgagors and unsuccessful bidders at the sale who have second thoughts on the value of the property. However, if the redemption is permitted at any time before confirmation of the sale, then there may be some lack of incentive for competitive bidding at the sale.””
