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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As for the Contracting Officer, although his signature . . . was not appended to the formal contract until September 11, 1944, yet the record shows that he was fully informed of all that transpired, and received copies of most of the correspondence that took place . . . . The clause requiring his written approval was one inserted solely for the protection of the government, which clearly had the right to, and did waive it. Under these circumstances, the Corporation is hardly in a position to claim that this provision, which all parties ignored, operated to postpone its obligation under its bid. Id. at 702 [footnote omitted].”
