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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Thus it was necessary for the trustee in this deed of trust, under the direction of the holder of the secured debt, to have counsel to file and prosecute this lawsuit. That being true we think that the holder of that debt was entitled, as a part of the ‘expense’, to have a reasonable attorney’s fee fixed and to be paid from the proceeds of the sale of this property.”
