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.

“1. All questions decided on a motion to dismiss an appeal become the law of the ease. (Morris Plan Co. v. Kahen, 135 Cal. 395, 396 [1] [ 26 P.2d 855 ].) 2. AVhere questions presented on a subsequent appeal were necessarily involved in a former appeal, and the conclusion arrived at on the former appeal could not have been reached without expressly or impliedly deciding the question subsequently presented, the decision on the former appeal is the law of the case and rules throughout all subsequent stages of the action. (Kirman v. Borzage, 89 Cal.App.2d 898, 900 [2] [ 202 P.2d 303 ]. See, also, cases cited in 1 West’s Cal. Dig. [1951) Appeal & Error, § 1195(1), p. 784.)”
