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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““As applied to the equitable claims of the defendants [who sought contribution] this seems to be a harsh rule, but it must be remembered that such equitable claims do not constitute liens on the premises but only rights to have liens decreed on a cotenant’s interest in a partition proceeding for the protection of their respective claims against such cotenant; that each of the defendants, at any time before plaintiff acquired his interest in the premises as a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, could have instituted an action in partition and had the interest which the plaintiff afterwards acquired in the real estate subjected to their various equitable claims; and that it wns their failure to do so that make it possible for the plaintiff to acquire such interest free from such claims, bringing the case within the general rule that ‘wherever one of two innocent persons must suffer by the acts of a third, he who has enabled such third person to occasion the loss must sustain it.’ [Citation.]””
