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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Within 6 years: (6 “(3) An action upon any other contract, obligation or liability, express or implied, except those mentioned in ss. 893.16 and 893.18. “(5) An action to recover damages for an injury to property, or for an injury to the character or rights of another, not arising on contract, except in case where a different period is expressly prescribed.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““* * * Since ‘... a person has a “cause of action” when he can come into court, plead and prove certain facts and secure the relief requested,’ his cause of action was then complete, except that he did not know that it then existed. The only missing ingredient was actual knowledge that a mistake in describing the property had been made. The date of gaining such knowledge is the date of discovery. As this court has said, ‘.. . That the injury did not become noticeable or was not in fact noticed until a later date is another question... . ’ Tolling of the statute of limitations in this state does not await the time or fact of discovery. When negligence and resultant injury have occurred, the statute starts to run. * * *"”
