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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) a false statement or misrepresentation of material fact; (2) the representor’s knowledge at the time the misrepresentation is made that the statement is false; (3) an intention that the misrepresentation induce another to act; (4) action in justifiable reliance on the representation; and (5) resulting damage or injury.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[Integration clauses do not “cloak defendants with immunity” from fraudulent statements. Florida law is clear that if a party alleges that a contract was procured by fraud or misrepresentation as to a material fact, an integration clause will not make the contract incontestable, and the oral representations may be introduced into evidence to establish fraud.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The ability of MeterLogie to negotiate fair terms and make a truly informed decision has been undermined by these misrepresentations. For example, had MeterLogie known that [the corporate parents] were not really behind the contracts, MeterLogie could have protected itself by agreeing to different terms or refusing to enter into the agreements altogether.”
