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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The owner of an easement cannot materially enlarge the burden on the servient estate or impose a new burden on the servient estate. When a right-of-way easement is granted, a right of passage is given. The owner of the servient estate, of course, retains all rights of ownership which are consistent with the use of the easement. These competing rights must be balanced to promote the enjoyment of both the easement and the servient estate.”
