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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““It is, of course, axiomatic that the parties to an existing contract may subsequently enter into a valid agreement to extinguish, rescind or modify the former contract. 12 Am. Jur. par. 431, pg. 1011; 12 Am. Jur. 983 , par. 405; Appleman et al. v. Pepis, 117 Okla. 199 , 246 P. 225 . But as with any other agreement, the contract to rescind must be by mutual consent of the parties.””
