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.
“Plaintiff’s argument that Asael must establish his title by proving his mother’s “gift” by clear and convincing evidence, is misplaced, since the factual issue in this case was not proof of gift but proof of waiver or satisfaction of obligation by one who was already the title holder of record. On that issue, proof by a preponderance of the evidence is sufficient.”
