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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The case differs on its facts from Morrison v. Fidelity & Deposit Co., 150 Ga. 54 (4), 102 S.E. 354 , and similar cases in which the covenant to pay attorney’s fees was not for attorney’s fees for collection of the debt in question, but as an item of expense incurred by the promisee in collateral matters.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
