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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““See. 4737. The liens for work or labor done, or things furnished, shall be paid pro rata, except that the lien of a sub-contractor shall be preferred to that of a contractor. Liens under this act shall be preferred to all other liens and incumbrances attached to or upon such building, erection or other improvement, and to the land on which the same is situated, made subsequent to the commencement of such building, erection or other improvement.””
