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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]t least in some, if not all, cases, fraud in the inducement of a note or mortgage is a compulsory counterclaim to an action in foreclosure on the note or mortgage.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“By severing the counterclaim in this case, the court either determined the factual issues of fraud without evidence and without a jury, or it entered a final judgment for the plaintiff before it resolved the affirmative defense of fraud. Either option would be error. Since the trial court could not sever the affirmative defense of fraud from this foreclosure action, it is obvious that a judgment on the pleadings was not warranted. In reviewing such a judgment, all material allegations of the opposing party are taken as true, and all those of the moving party that have been denied are taken as false. The court is not permitted to consider any matter outside the pleadings.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is well established that fraud can be a valid defense in a foreclosure action.”
