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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been frequently held in this state that an action to recover the purchase price of land is not a local action and may be brought in a different county from that in which the land is situated. (Samuel v. Allen, 98 Cal. 406 [ 33 P. 273 ] ; Terry v. Rivergarden Farms Co., 29 Cal.App. 59 [ 154 P. 476 ] ; North Stockton etc. v. Fischer, 138 Cal. 100 [ 70 P. 1082 , 71 P. 438 ] ; Gallup v. Sacramento Drainage Co., 171 Cal. 71 [ 151 P. 1142 ] ; Paramore v. Colby, 45 Cal.App. 559 [ 118 P. 72 ].) Nor does the fact that the prayer of the complaint asks that defendant be required to specifically perform its obligation in any manner alter the situation. (O’Gor man v. Wachter, 71 Cal.App. 266 [ 235 P. 57 ].)””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Here it is manifest from the allegations of the complaint and from the prayer that the object of the action and the relief sought is to obtain a money judgment. There is nothing in the complaint which asks for any remedy connected with the property. On the contrary, plaintiffs pray that defendant be required to accept or cause the trust company to accept delivery of the conveyance tendered by the plaintiffs. The title or any interest in the land which was the subject of the sale is therefore in no manner involved, and the judgment sought, if obtained, will not directly operate upon it.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“* * * In determining the nature of an action, resort must be had to the averments of the complaint, and the character of the judgment which might be rendered upon a default * * *.”
