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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * However, threat of lawful strike does not constitute duress or vitiate a collective bargaining agreement. [Citing cases] “Assuming, however, that the duress alleged here by the defendants was unlawful, the contracts are not void but only voidable and may be ratified and affirmed by the party upon whom the alleged duress was practiced. [Citing cases] In addition, to render a contract voidable by reason of duress an election to rescind and challenge the validity must be made within a reasonable time. * * *””
