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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) Persons having only a joint interest in the subject matter of an action must be joined on the same side as plaintiffs or defendants.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The liability for the negligence complained of having grown out of ownership of real estate held by tenants in common, all three owners were required to be joined. 20 R.C.L. 678, 17. Accordingly, the City named [the three nephews] in its complaint to bring them in as additional defendants. However, [one nephew] was not served, but that fact did not bar proceeding to trial and obtaining a verdict in the City’s favor, for the full amount of the verdict . . . against [two nephews], both of whom were served.1 We are satisfied that no error was committed in refusing the motion of these appellants for a new trial.”
