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.
““The defendant contends that, if Act No. 238, Public Acts 1913, does not affect the contract, it was invalidated by sections 9509 and 9511, 3 Comp. Laws (3 Comp. Laws 1915, §§ 11975, 11977), on the theory that the contract set up by the plaintiff was not one! for services, but one creating an interest in the land or power over it. But this theory was held untenable in Brittson v. Smith, 165 Mich. 222 .””
