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.
““Abandonment has been defined as the relinquishment of property to which a person is entitled, with no purpose of again claiming it, and without concern as to who may subsequently take possession; and, in considering the question before us, we must keep in mind the distinction between abandonment and laches. As has been said: ‘Abandonment effectuates intention. Laches defeats intention. Abandonment is voluntary. Laches operates in invitum.’. . . To constitute an abandonment of property there must be a concurrence of the intention to abandon and an actual relinquishment. . . .” (And cases cited)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Under the lease contract, the lessee was not required, upon completion of a nonproductive well, to drill another, nor to do anything with the one completed; nor was it required to remove the machinery or property used in constructing the well at any particular time. Whether appellee could have had the lease canceled at any time before the expiration of the five-year term, it is unnecessary to decide. It is sufficient to say that, under the facts stated in the finding, no steps were, in fact, taken by appellee to terminate the lease. . .”
