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.

1. “the action of the Supreme Court approved and affirmed the conclusion and judgment of this Court that, by failure to register their names as owner/taxpayers of the subject properly, plaintiffs forfeited the right to notice of the tax suit and tax sale ... [because the application to appeal to the Supreme Court alleged that the tax sale notices failed to comply with statutory and constitutional requirements.] ... by its limited remand for an evidentiary hearing upon the adequacy of the Nashville Record publication, the Supreme Court undoubtedly included Constitutional and statutory provisions as standards for adequacy of the notice to “record owners” ... in summary, the holdings of this Court, as affirmed by the Supreme Court, and the holding of the Supreme Court as to limit of remand constitute the law of this case, foreclosing and excluding any complaint, constitutional or otherwise, as to the omission of the names of the plaintiffs from the tax sale proceedings or any notices pursuant thereto.”
