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.
““The rescission of the contract was a proper defence to be pleaded to the action, and such defence was not admissible under any other paragraph of answer. [Which included a general denial.] “A plea alleging a rescission of contract is an affirmative plea. It admits the making of the contract, and alleges a rescission of it.””
