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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[T]he existence of express or implied-in-fact contracts does hinge upon proof of all of the elements of a contract. Lucas v. Costantini (1983), 13 Ohio App.3d 367 , 368 , 13 OBR 449 , 469 N.E.2d 927 , 928-929 . Express contracts diverge from implied-in-fact contracts in the form of proof that is needed to establish each contractual element. Penwell v. Amherst Hosp. (1992), 84 Ohio App.3d 16 , 21 , 616 N.E.2d 254 , 257-258 . In express contracts, assent to the terms of the contract is actually expressed in the form of an offer and an acceptance. Lucas , supra. On the other hand, in implied-in-fact contracts the parties' meeting of the minds is shown by the surrounding circumstances, including the conduct and declarations of the parties, that make it inferable that the contract exists as a matter of tacit understanding. Point E. Condominium Owners' Assn. v. Cedar House Assn. (1995), 104 Ohio App.3d 704 , 712 , 663 N.E.2d 343 , 348-349 . To establish a contract implied in fact a plaintiff must demonstrate that the circumstances surrounding the parties' transaction make it reasonably certain that an agreement was intended. *Page 9 Lucas , supra.'”
