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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"(1) A document of title confers no right in goods against a person who before issuance of the document had a legal interest or a perfected security interest in them and who neither (a) delivered or entrusted them or any document of title covering them to the bailor or his nominee with actual or apparent authority to ship, store or sell or with power to obtain delivery under this chapter (§ 47-7-403) or with power of disposition under chapters 1 through 9 of this title (§§ 47-2-403 and 47-9-307) or other statute or rule of law; nor (b) acquiesced in the procurement by the bailor or his nominee of any document of title. " (Emphasis supplied.)”
