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.
“We think [the] plaintiff alleged sufficient facts to show a contract between [the] defendant and her for the sale and purchase of the business, [the] defendant's failure to perform the contract, and [the] plaintiff's damages resulting from [the] defendant's default. We hold that the complaint is sufficient to state a claim for relief against [the] defendant . . ., and the court did not err in denying his motion to vacate the entry of default.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the complaint [did] not state a claim upon which relief can be granted and that this [was] necessary to support a default judgment.”
