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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“that if the owner of a vehicle has no power to dispose of the vehicle without a proper transfer of the certificate of title [as required by the Act], then no merchant to whom the vehicle is entrusted [under section 2.403(b) of the Code] has the power to dispose of the vehicle without a proper transfer of the certificate.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“No motor vehicle may be disposed of at a subsequent sale unless the owner designated in the certificate of title transfers the certificate of title, at the time the motor vehicle is transferred ... No title to any motor vehicle shall pass or vest until the transfer is so executed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“entrusting of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives him power to transfer all rights of the entruster to a buyer in the ordinary course of business.”
