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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “It is a general rule that courts will not aid either party to an illegal agreement where a partnership is formed for the prosecution of an illegal business or for the conduct of a lawful business in an illegal manner and will not lend their aid to assist either party thereto in an action against the other. There can, accordingly, be no accounting demanded of an alleged partner for the profits which may be in his hands where a partnership is formed for an unlawful purpose or engages in an unlawful transaction. It is fundamental that no principle of law is more clearly established than that the law will not enforce an illegal transaction.”
