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.

1. ““The tidal court, having found that plaintiffs became the owners of the property after November 1, 1942, and that they had complied with all of the requirements of the said Section 6 (b) (2), and with the laws of the State of California concerning notice, correctly ordered possession of the premises to be restored in plaintiffs. In offering the defense evidence relating to the questions of the plaintiffs’ good faith and the family status of defendants, the latter were, in effect, seeking to have the trial court review, or act as a court of appeals from, the action of the Administrator in applying the Regula tion to the facts in this case. The court was without jurisdiction to so do, and the proffered evidence was properly rejected.””

2. ““The Defendants complain of the refusal of the trial court to receive evidence by way of defense concerning the questions: (1) As to whether or not the plaintiff purchasers seek in good faith to recover possession of the premises for their immediate use and occupancy as a dwelling, and (2) the defendant’s circumstances as to the size and status of theif family, and their inability to fin’d a place to which to move. The ‘court properly sustained the objections of plaintiffs to such evidence as being irrelevant to the issues presented by these proceedings.””

3. ““If the Municipal Court of the City of Long Beach had accepted defendants’ proffered evidence, it would, by so doing, have assumed the prerogative of reviewing the facts on which the Administrator issued his certificate. It would have been required ‘to consider the validity’ of such order. Jurisdiction to do this having been withdrawn by a valid act of Congress, the trial court properly rejected such evidence.””
