Most-quoted passages

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.
“(1) parties capable of contracting; (2) a valid prior obligation to be- displaced; (3) the consent of all the parties to the substitution based upon sufficient consideration; (4) the extinction of the old obligation and the creation of a valid new one.”
