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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the word ‘days’ alone is used with reference to lay days or days for loading a ship, all the running or successive days are counted. If the term ‘working days’ is used, all days are counted except Sundays and holidays. If the parties wish further to except days when the weather prevents work, they use the expression ‘weather working days’ or ‘with customary dispatch,’ or some other expression which clearly indicates the intention to recognize that days of inclemency from winds and storms are also excepted. Taking: into consideration the cycle of years since this term ‘working days’ has received a commercial interpretation, as sanctioned by the judges, and the frequency and universality with which courts have adhered to that interpretation, for parties to use the expression ‘working days’ in a charter party is-to express that, except Sundays and .holidays, all days are to be counted, whatever be the state of the weather.””
