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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Frett case held: “Even though Edwardo Newton’s withdrawal from the partnership at the outset of its activities dissolved it under § 29 of the Uniform Partnership Act, * * *, it does not follow that the partnership agreement ceased to define the rights, duties and obligations of the partners with respect to one another. Undoubtedly they carried on as partners after Newton’s retirement from the venture, and if the partnership rested upon a parol understanding, it is evident that by that understanding they adopted the provisions of the written partnership agreement. * * * ””
