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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The underlying contract] is between [Obligor] and [Assignor], [Assignor’s] assignment contract is between [Assign- or] and [Assignee]. The two contracts are completely separate from one another. As a result of the assignment contract, [Obligor’s] rights and duties under the [underlying] contract remain the same: The only change is to whom those duties are owed.... [Obligor] was not a party to [the assignment], nor has an cognizable interest in it. Therefore, [Obligor] has no right to step into [Assignor’s] shoes to raise [its] contract rights against [Assignee]. [Obligor] has no more right than a complete stranger to raise [Assignor’s] rights under the assignment contract.”
