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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * [Hjere the voluntary surrender of the motor vehicle to the garage-man, albeit for the limited purpose of performing authorized repairs, results in the garageman having both a legal property interest, in the form of a lien, and actual possession. * * * Under these circumstances we cannot conclude that the Indiana procedure, permitting the repairman to retain possession and imposing on the car owner and burden of initiating litigation to challenge his right and resolve the disputes is fundamentally unfair. [Citations omitted.]””
