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 69 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“: “requires the owner, when and if he decides to sell, to offer the property first to the person entitled to the pre-emption, at the stipulated price. Upon receiving such an offer, the pre-emptioner may elect whether he will buy. If he decides not to buy, then the owner of the property may sell to anyone.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Next, defendant contends that the provision for purchase is invalid and unenforceable because its terms are so indefinite and uncertain as to be ambiguous and meaningless. An examination of the provision discloses no uncertainty when applied to the facts in the instant case. But defendant hypothesizes several situations of fact that might possibly occur in another case and which perhaps might present difficult problems for solution. For example, she suggests that all three of the possible purchasers might avail themselves of the right to purchase at the same time, and inquires further as to the effect of the provision on judicial sales and other related problems. It would seem sufficient to observe that none of these questions are presented by the facts of this case and they may never arise. We limit our decision in this case to the facts now presented and pre-termit hypothetical situations until such questions actually arise.””
