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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The true measure of damages would appear to be actual damages under the provisions of section 3300. An item of damage, of course, would be the value, not of the land itself, but of the conditional right to purchase the land, less the amount agreed to be paid. What this value was would be a factual matter for determination by the court under all the circumstances of the case. No evidence was here presented as to such value, nor was any offered or received.”
