The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“It appears to this court under these circumstances the question of ownership of the stock and plaintiff's right thereto would be effectively disposed of, since the decree describes and disposes of all the corporate shares, and releases any restraint imposed upon defendants as to the stock held by them. However, we need not determine this exact question. The question of stock ownership and plaintiff's rights therein was presented by plaintiff's petition and by the restraining order, and was a matter germane to the divorce, alimony and division of the property between the parties. It was a matter that could have been litigated in the divorce action.”
