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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Specific performance may be denied if a contract is not fair, reasonable, and based on adequate consideration. Sand, 224 N.W.2d at 378. “And specific performance of an agreement must be denied when its terms are not sufficiently certain to make the precise act which is to be done clearly ascertainable.” ... To be specifically enforceable, a contract “ ‘must be complete in itself ... at least with respect to its essential and material terms ... The court cannot supply an important omission or complete a defective contract for the purpose of specific performance.’ ” Id. [Manden-Bismarck Livestock Auction v. Kist, 84 N.W.2d 297 ] at 302 [(N.D.1957)] (quoting 81 C.J.S., Specific Performance § 35).”
