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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[p]rior to enactment of the rules now codified in this section, the 1978 Official Text of Section 1-201(37) provided that whether a lease was intended as security ( i.e. , a security interest disguised as a lease) was to be determined from the facts of each case; however, (a) the inclusion of an option to purchase did not itself make the lease one intended for security, and (b) an agreement that upon compliance with the terms of the lease the lessee would become, or had the option to become, the owner of the property for no additional consideration, or for a nominal consideration, did make the lease one intended for security. "Reference to the intent of the parties to create a lease or security interest led to unfortunate results. In discovering intent, courts relied upon factors that were thought to be more consistent with sales or loans than leases. Most of these criteria, however, were as applicable to true leases as to security interests."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Additionally, ownership tax benefits under the lease were reserved exclusively to the lessor, another traditional indication that the parties intended to enter a true lease agreement. See, e.g., American Standard Credit, Inc. v. National Cement Co. , 643 F.2d 248 , 266 (5th Cir. 1981) (holding that lessor's retention of investment tax credit on purportedly leased property manifested intent of parties to enter true lease agreement); Colonial Leasing [Co. v. Larson Bros. Construction Co. , 731 P.2d 483 , 487 (Utah 1986)].”
