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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the frequency and number of users of a street is not significant, so long as the street remained free to those members of the public who had occasion to use it. In addition, the term 'public' has been interpreted to mean 'all those who have occasion to use' the road. Finally, a road can be a public road even if the road is only open at one end and only provides access to one landowner.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[alll county highways heretofore laid out according to law, or used as such for twenty (20) years or more, shall continue as originally located and as of their original width, respectively, until changed according to law.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If the street became a public street before 1988, then the public has a vested right in that street, and the vested right was not eliminated by the amendment of the statute.”
