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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tlie real party in interest is tlie party who is to be benefited or injured by tbe judgment in the case. It will be observed that the statute provides the action must be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest, and, of course, if the defense can show that the plaintiff or plaintiffs are not the real parties in interest,' the action- must fail.””
