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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Every writing authorized by law to be recorded ... upon payment of fees for the same and the tax thereon, if any, shall, when admitted to record, be recorded by or under the direction of the clerk on such media as are prescribed by § 17-70. However, the clerk may refuse to accept any writing for filing or recordation [if certain requirements, not relevant here, are not met.] However, if the writing or deed is accepted for record and spread on the deed books, it shall be deemed to be validly recorded for all purposes. ... Upon admitting any such writing or other paper to record the clerk shall endorse thereon the day and time of day of such recordation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In Re Franklin“[T]he intent of the amendment of 1926 [enacting the last sentence of § 17-59 quoted supra ] was to abolish admission to record by mere mental act, and to make the physical act of indorsing on the document the day and time of day of admission, the one and only act capable of evidencing admission to record. To hold that a deed may be admitted to record by mere mental act on the part of the clerk is simply to ignore and nullify the amendment of 1926.”
