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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that, where both plaintiff and cross-complainant recover money judgments, a defendant to whom the ‘net result of the judgment’ is favorable is entitled to recover all his costs ... If the ‘net result’ of a judgment is favorable to plaintiff, unless it (in its net amount) is one which ‘ could have been rendered by a municipal or inferior court within the same county,’ plaintiff’s costs are ‘allowed of course’ ” (Citing Code Civ. Proc., § 1032; Hansen v. Covell, 218 Cal. 622 [ 24 P.2d 772 , 89 A.L.R. 670 ].) See, also, Shelley v. Hart, 112 Cal.App. 231, 243 [ 297 P. 82 ] ; Dobbins v. Horsfall, 58 Cal.App.2d 23, 27 [ 136 P.2d 35 ].”
