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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The agreement to purchase and sell, having been reduced to writing and signed by the parties, is controlling. This written contract, which cannot be contradicted or varied by parol evidence, bound the defendants [vendors] to convey a clear title. As correctly held by the learned trial judge, the reserved right of way was a substantial defect in defendants’ title.... Upon those facts the plaintiffs were entitled to recover [their earnest money].”
