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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a principal employs more than one broker, and the several brokers act independently, and with knowledge of this fact, the one who first completes a sale is entitled to the commissions. ..- . “The same principle applies in all the cases, to wit, that the owner cannot interfere, but the several brokers are free to act independently of each other, and the owner' is under no obligation to decide between their conflicting claims, but only to remain neutral as between them, and between them and the purchaser.””
