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 written instruments in two cases: [1] Where there is a mutual mistake — that is, where there has been a meeting of minds — an agreement actually entered into, but the contract, deed settlement, or other instrument, in its written form, does not express what was really intended by the parties thereto, and [2] Where there has been a mistake of one party accompanied by fraud or other inequitable conduct of the remaining parties.”
