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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Where an architect is employed generally to draw the plans and specifications for a building of a given style and dimensions, he may recover for his services upon a compliance with the terms of his employment even though the building planned is one which the employer cannot erect at the place at which it was his purpose to erect it, but if the architect knows the place where it is intended to erect the building he must know the building restrictions of that particular place and must draw the plans and specifications accordingly or else forfeit his right of recovery for his services. So, the architect cannot revover for his plans and specifications where the building, if erected in accordance with them, would violate the building ordinances of the place at which it is to be erected unless he has been directed by the owner to so prepare them."”
