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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is agreed that the 1950 Ford was not a replacement for the 1951 Ford, which still stood in Stallings’ name * * *. Literally, therefore, Inland insured all automobiles (the 1951 Ford) ‘owned by the named insured at such delivery date.’ “Inland’s second point is that the named insured did not notify the company within thirty days following the date of the delivery to him of the 1950 Ford. That is true. But it is also true that the accident happened within the thirty day period. It has been generally held that the requirement of notice is a condition subsequent rather than a condition precedent to the extended coverage, and ‘that such coverage is automatically effected upon delivery of the new automobile and remains in effect until the end of the specified period, irrespective of whether notice has been given or not.’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Where the 'automatic insurance' clause requires notice of the acquisition of a new automobile to be given the insurer within a specified time after delivery, a failure to give notice prior to an accident occurring after the expiration of the designated period precludes coverage of the new automobile. However, where the accident takes place within the notice period but before any notice has been given, it is generally held that the requirement of notice is a condition subsequent rather than a condition precedent and that such coverage is automatically effected upon delivery of the new automobile and remains in effect until the end of the specified period, irrespective of whether notice has been given." 5A Am.Jur., Automobile Insurance, p. 83, sec. 84.”
