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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * most courts have taken the view a covenant to renew is satisfied by one renewal thereof, due to their disfavor of perpetuities and perpetual leases. Annotation 1952, 31 A.L.R.2d 607 ; 4 Thompson on Real Property, Sec. 1263 (perm.ed.); 51 C.J.S. Landlord & Tenant § 61; 32 Am.Jur., Landlord & Tenant, Sec. 968."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“‘When a lease of realty for a specified term of five years also provides that the lessor agrees ‘during the tenure of the lease’ to sell to the lessee the leased property for a named cash price and also provides that the lessee has the option to renew the lease for a period of five years ‘on the same terms and conditions,’ does the exercise of the option to renew also extend into the extended term the right of the lessee to purchase the leased premises for the price specified?’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“distinction between meaning of words renewal and extension and words of similar import when used in leases `was too refined and theoretical to be real, as a matter of law, in practical affairs.'”
