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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he plaintiffs do not complain that they did not reap the benefits of using this check as a negotiable instrument. Nor do they complain of not being able to access actual “legal tender” by cashing the check.... Apparently, the plaintiffs have enjoyed the fruits of what [the bank’s] check bought, yet they seek to nullify that check on the basis of a view that bank or mortgage company checks are worthless attempts to create illegal tender. Furthermore, it was only after they defaulted and foreclosure proceedings were completed, that plaintiffs came forward with their theory attacking the mortgage on this basis.”
