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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ There are cases where the seller or purchaser may put upon the other the responsibility of informing him correctly as to the market value or as to any other fact known to him affecting the value of the property, and while, in such a case, the party is not bound to answer, yet, if he does answer, he is bound to speak the truth, and if his answer is untrue and prejudice results therefrom, it is fraud: Kerr on Fraud and Mistake, p. 55. But the case made here by the defendants is not that kind of a case, and it does not fall within that rule for the reasons above stated.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Where parties to a contract stand on equal footing • and have an equal means of knowledge, and there is no relation of trust or confidence between them, fraud cannot be predicated on a representation as to value. Value is largely a matter of judgment and estimation upon which men may differ; hence, representations of value, as a general rule, are not material: 12 E. C. L., p. 281.””
