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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is elementary that where the terms of a contract are thus susceptible of more than one interpretation, or an ambiguity exists, or the extent and object of the contract cannot be ascertained from the language employed, parol evidence may be introduced to show what was in the minds of the parties at the time of making the contract and to determine the object on which it was designed to operate.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It is well settled that in this situation [where the assignment merely states 'for value received'] parol evidence rule does not exclude parol or extrinsic evidence of the full consideration. The effect of such parol or extrinsic evidence is not to contradict or vary the terms of the writing, but to establish the essential part of the contract which is not embodied or intended to be embodied therein.”
