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.
““... There seems to be little question that, excluding any requirement for entering and indexing, the seller met its full responsibility by filing the instrument, and that the burden of responsibility for mistakes is not upon the seller. ‘It is not incumbent upon one presenting to the recording officer for record an instrument which the statute provides to be recorded to see that such officer does his duty. The one presenting it has done all that is required of him when he delivers an instrument which contains the essentials of a valid contract. Thereafter, the burden of responsibility for mistakes is upon the officer.’ Jones on Chattel Mortgages and Conditional Sales, Volume 3, Section 1066. Vide, also: Eager on Chattel Mortgages and Conditional Sales, Section 562, page 733; Esterich on Installment Sales, Section 164, page 329; Dodds v. O’Brien, Sup., 166 N.Y.S. 1065 ; Schmidtman v. Atlantic Phosphate & Oil Corp., 2 Cir., 230 F. 769 ; In re Avion Syrup Corp., D.C., 25 F.2d 342 ; Baker v. Hull, 250 N.Y. 484 , 166 N.E. 175 . A contract is filed ‘when it is delivered to the proper officer, and by him received, to be kept on file.’ Presidents and Directors of Manhattan Co. v. Laimbeer, 108 N.Y. 578 , 15 N.E. 712, 713 ; In re Yakel, 118 Mise. 641, 195 N.Y.S. 355 .””
