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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By failing to notify [the debtor] Rants of the intended disposition, the creditors did not proceed in accordance with NDCC § 41-09-50(3) [UCC 9-504], even though the sale * * * was commercially reasonable. Their failure to give notice triggers the statutory damages provision and because the collateral is a consumer good, the debtor, Rants, is entitled to recover damages, ‘in any event,’ regardless of his actual loss. NDCC § 41-09-53(1) [UCC 9-507] entitles the debtor to a ‘minimum recovery’ as a statutory penalty for the creditor’s failure to give notice notwithstanding commercial reasonableness and notwithstanding no actual loss.””
