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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Moreover, the North Dakota Century Code expressly prohibits the application of the discovery rule in this context. It provides that actions for breach of contract under Article II of the U.C.C. accrue “when the breach occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party’s lack of knowledge of the breach.” N.D. Cent. Code § 41-02-104 (2) (U.C.C. § 2-725). The clear import of this sentence is to prevent the application of the discovery rule, and to apply the discovery rule here would be to write section 41-02-104(2) out of the code. Accordingly, JN’s knowledge or lack of knowledge of the alleged breach is irrelevant, and JN’s contract claims are barred by the application of section 41-02-104 absent some grounds for equitable relief from the effect of the statute of limitations.”
