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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a person, lives with a relative as one of the relative’s family, neither has a cause of action against the other for compensation, for wages on the one side, or for boarding, lodging, etc., on the other side, or for anything else furnished by the one to the other as a member of the family, except where an express contract is shown to exist between the parties requiring that one or the other shall have compensation.” (p. 208.)”
