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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Every agreement, promise or contract to pay any commission for or upon the sale of any interest in real estate,””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Smith v. Starke · Cochran v. Staman““These are important elements, and if we are to overlook them and say that proof of the bare fact that some commission was to be paid is a compliance with the statute, and permit parol proof to make a completed contract, the effect which was obviously intended by the legislature is set at naught, and the controversies which the passage of the act was sought to avoid will still be with us. We think this subdivision 5 should be subject to the same construction that has been given the other subdivisions so far as it is applicable.””
