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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “The Askari court held that the correct method of assessing damages for the wrongful filing of a lis pendens is to compare the difference between the fair market value of the property at the time of filing of the lis pendens with its fair market value at the time of its termination .... The Askari court explained: If the property is lower in value when the lis pendens is lifted, the buyer may have to pay more damages. This rule is not intended to penalize a buyer who files a lis pendens. Changing conditions in the real estate market may work to the buyer’s benefit or to his disadvantage. For example, if the property has increased in value when the lis pendens is lifted, the damages the buyer must pay are accordingly reduced. In some cases the buyer may pay no damages. The buyer’s damages are subject to change because the filing of a lis pendens does not place valuation of the property in a state of suspended animation.”
