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.
““The present controversy involves not so much a search for the so-called ‘equities’ of the case, but a proper determination of the legal rights of the parties. Perlmut-ter’s, Inc., paid the fee, and is thus entitled to the refund thereof, unless it later assigned its right thereto.””
