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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When judgment or decree is given for the foreclosure of any mortgage, hereafter executed, to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price of real property, such judgment or decree shall provide for the sale of the real property, covered by such mortgage, for the satisfaction of the judgment or decree given therein, and the mortgagee shall not be entitled to a deficiency judgment on account of such mortgage or note or obligation secured by the same.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence““The decree demanded by Section 422, L.O.L., (now section 6-501, Oregon Code 1930), as modified by the subsequent enactment of Section 426, Id., (now section 6-505, Oregon Code 1930), requires a court of equity in foreclosing a purchase-money mortgage, given to secure the payment of a promissory note, to determine the entire sum due upon the personal obligation. Since, however, the latter section of the statute inhibits that court from granting ‘a deficiency judgment on account of such mortgage or note or obligation,’ a judicial ascertainment of the amount so due is not equivalent to the giving of a decree for the recovery thereof, except only as the award is limited to the real property described in the mortgage. A sale of the encumbered land under the decree foreclosing a purchase-money mortgage, necessarily exhausts the entire measure of power bestowed by the legislative assembly upon the court and there is therefore no remainder, due, after the sale of the land, upon which an execution can be issued.””
