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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Bulk Sales law is a distinct and separate statute, although it does, in general, cover a transaction of this kind. But the Unemployment Compensation statute came later and deals with a sole and specific matter in regard to the transfer and assumption of a vendor’s reserve account. It must prevail to the extent that it can be said to be inconsistent with the Bulk Sales Statute. (Emphasis added).”
