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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The architect who prepared the plans and specifications of a building, and afterwards became the contractor and agreed with the owner to put up the building according to plans and specifications, is responsible for any defect or insufficiency in specifications. He cannot escape responsibility for defectiveness of the work by taking the ground that the defect was in the specifications and not in the work. He is responsible for both."”
