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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And it has been repeatedly held that a mere nonuser will not amount to abandonment of an easement, but that there must be some positive showing of an intention to abandon. Boyd v. Hunt, 102 Tenn. 495 , 52 S.W. 131 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“• “ The primary elements of.- abandonment. are the intention to abandon and the external act by which the ' intention is carried into effect. The intention to abandon ' is considered the first and paramount inquiry. Abandonment may arise from a single act or from a series of acts. Time is not an essential element of abandonment, and is of no importance except as indicative of intention. 1 Am. Jur. pp. 6 and 7, Sec. 8.””
