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.
“Every contract imposes upon the parties a duty of good faith and fair dealing in the performance and interpretation of the contract. Wallace v. National Bank of Commerce, 938 S.W.2d 684, 686 (Tenn.1996); RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONTRACTS § 205 (1979); 2 JOSEPH M. PERILLO & HELEN HADJIYAUUAKIS BENDER, COR-BIN ON CONTRACTS § 5.27, at 139 (rev.ed.1995). This duty requires a contracting party to do nothing that will have the effect of impairing or destroying the rights of the other party to receive the benefits of the contract. Winfree v. Educators Credit Union, 900 S.W.2d 285, 289 (Tenn.Ct.App.1995).”
