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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the services of a broker, as well as those of another broker, have conjointly contributed to the successful termination of negotiations resulting in the [acquisition of a mortgage] for an owner, the question which of the brokers is entitled to commissions from the owner for [procuring such mortgage] depends upon whose efforts were the primary, proximate, and procuring cause of the [mortgage]. The broker whose services and efforts were the primary, proximate, and procuring cause of [the mortgage] would be entitled to the commissions.”
