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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is no requirement under [the applicable statute] that the claim of lien contain a description of a type of entity that filed it. It is only necessary that the name of the claimant appear on the claim of lien, the courts have been liberal in upholding claims or statements in this respect, [citations omitted]. Defendants do not contend that the failure of the claim of lien to describe [the lien claimant] as a partnership prejudiced them in any way.””
