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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“However, there are allegations in the petition as amended which state a cause of action against the defendant landowners (not against the defendant coal companies) for a breach of an implied warranty of quiet enjoyment and possession. Such a covenant is implied in a lease of realty.... This covenant of quiet enjoyment runs with the land and the assignee of the lease may take advantage of it.... The action is deemed based on a written contract, and would be governed by KRS 413.090, the limitation period being 15 years.”
