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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... Whether a broker is to be regarded as acting for the borrower, for the lender, or for both, depends on all the facts and circumstances of the particular case, and no one fact, seized from its setting, can be said to be conclusive or controlling under any and all circumstances.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The answer to this question depends upon whether Quinn-Smith Company was acting as a broker or agent for appellants in securing the loan, or whether it acted either as a principal in loaning its own money to them, or else as agent for the lender, or for both the lender and the borrower. If it acted solely as the broker for appellants, it had the right to charge the commission, otherwise it did not.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the principal question in dispute is whether [the broker] agreed to loan, and eventually did loan, its own money to appellants, or whether it acted as a broker for appellants in securing the loan from a third party.”
