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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is an acceptance of goods within the meaning of this section when the buyer, either before or after delivery of the goods, expresses by words or conduct his assent to becoming the owner of those specified goods. Tested by this standard, the plaintiffs evidence presents a fact question and requires a finding on the issue of acceptance. If the trier of facts' is satisfied from the evidence that the defendant accepted and received part of the goods, then and in that event the contract is not barred by the statute.” (Emphasis added.)”
