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.
““Equity will reform a_ written contract when, by reason of the mutual mistake of the parties, it does not express their true agreement. In pleading a cause in reformation, it is necessary to allege in clear and concise language the grounds of reformation, the agreement actually made, and the agreement which the parties intended to make. Where the ground of reformation is mutual mistake, it is not necessary to allege mutual mistake in terms; but a pleading is generally regarded as sufficient which alleges facts from which a mutual mistake may be readily inferred.””
