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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" '[An easement by implication] requires not only original unity of ownership, but also that the use be open, visible, continuous, and reasonably necessary to the estate granted. . . . The implication is that the parties [intended for such an easement to exist] because the grantee, having seen the use the grantor made of the property, can reasonably expect a continuance of [the former manner of] use.'
