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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Appellant further claims that the service was incomplete because there was no service upon him, the grantee named in the tax deed of record for the latest year’s tax. Defendant, prior thereto, had already assigned to Belding, on whom service’ was made. 1 Comp. Laws 1929, § 3535, states that the service shall be made ‘upon the grantee or grantees under the tax deed issued by the auditor general for the latest year’s tax then appearing of record in said registry of deeds.’ Belding, defendant’s assignee, was properly served. To hold such service insufficient would lead to a ridiculous result. It would mean that the party who no longer has any interest in the property must be served, to the exclusion of those who have acquired his interest.””
