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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ There was no written evidence of the sale of the lots except the receipt which was given for the $75, and that was insufficient to answer the requirements of the statute of frauds, for, though it specified the purchase price, it failed to express the time or times of payment and there is no known and recognized custom to fix what is thus left undetermined. A memorandum, to be sufficient under the statute, must be complete in itself, and leave nothing to rest in parol.” Gault v. Stormont, 51 Mich. 636 ( 17 N. W. 314 ).”
