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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question of the validity and effect of the organization of the City Ice Delivery Company, a corporation, and the transfer of the partnership estate thereto was recently before this court, and we cannot shut our eyes to what we said about the whole transaction. We held that the transfer was illegal and void; that the corporation paid no consideration and was in fact the alter ego of defendant, Mosher. Mosher v. Lee, Receiver, 32 Ariz. 560 , 261 Pac. 35 . Since the corporation was only the nominal identity of defendant, Mosher, it must be the help was working for her. She it was that employed them, and she it should be that pays them.””
