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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Upon timely application, anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action . . . (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and he is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede his ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘The meaning and object of the real party in interest provision [of Rule 17] would be more accurately expressed if it read: “ ‘An action shall be prosecuted in the name of the party who, by the substantive law, has the right sought to be enforced.’ ””
