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.
“In the instant case, the District Court states: “In the vernacular, plaintiffs ‘bought a co-operative apartment,’ ... and that is all they bought.” Whatever the vernacular usage may be, we think the New York law on the question was clearly stated in Susskind v. 1136 Tenants Corp., 43 Misc.2d 588, 598 , 251 N.Y. S.2d 321, 325 (N.Y.City Civil Ct.1964), where the court held: “It is the shares of the corporation that are sold, and, despite a vernacular use to the contrary, the apartment is not sold but leased under a so-called proprietary lease____ (Emphasis in original).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[A]n owner of stock in a co-operative corporation, although he is entitled to possession of an accomodation, is only entitled to it so long as he complies with the terms and conditions of a proprietary lease. Should he default under such terms possession could be forfeited although the stock ownership under such circumstances could be retained. The ownership therefor is that of the stock.”
