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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Contribution originated in equity, and is based on natural justice. It is generally held not to rest upon contract express or implied. It applies where equity between the parties requires equality of burden. It is the mode by which equity compels the ultimate discharge of a debt by the one who as a matter of right should pay it.” Gates v. Fauvre, Indiana, 119 N. E. 155, 162 .”
