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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`Accord and satisfaction' has been defined by this Court as `a method of discharging a contract or cause of action by which the parties agree to give and accept something in settlement of a claim or demand of one against the other, where they thereafter perform such agreement.' Campbell v. Beaton, 117 N.W.2d 849, 850 (N.D.1962). The `accord' is the agreement and the `satisfaction' is its execution or performance. Beaton, supra ; §§ 9-13-04 and 9-13-05, N.D.C.C.”
