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.
“"It is the general rule that a party seeking to rescind a contract must return the opposite party to the position in which he was prior to entering into the contract. However, this is not a techaical rule, but rather it is equitable and requires practicality in readjusting the rights of the parties. The standard used is 'substantial restoration of the status quo." How this is to be accomplished, or indeed whether it can, is a matter which is within the discretion of the trial court, under the facts as found to exist by the trier of fact." This court has settled on the standard of an abuse of discretion as reaching the question of reasonableness of the choice made by the district court.”
