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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A single definition of a partnership or a joint adventure which is accurate, comprehensive and exclusive for all purposes is extremely difficult. The existence of their essential elements, including the power of joint control, may be determined from the over-all facts, including an oral agreement, the conduct of the parties and the peculiar circumstances of each particular case. (Syl. f 11.) “The requirement that joint adventurers shall have a joint interest in property, where there is property to be held as a part of the venture, is satisfied .if one of them holds an equitable interest therein while the other holds the legal title. But it is possible for one of them to have a sufficient equitable interest in an executed joint adventure, not based on joint ownership of property, to entitle him to an accounting of the profits.” (Syl. f 8.)”
