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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The joint venture was terminated because the sole purpose for the formation of the partnership was to pursue the City contract. When this opportunity ceased to exist because the City selected [the original winning bidder’s] proposal, the joint venture also ceased to exist. Each party satisfied its obligation under the agreement. Once the City rejected [their initial] proposal, SAS, McDonald’s, and Carson were free to pursue other opportunities, including entering into a joint venture with a third party and preparing and submitting a proposal with that third party pursuant to [the second request for proposals].”
