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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it was a part of the consideration for the new roadway that appellees relinquish all right to the old roadway.... [T]he agreement was in effect a re-routing or change in location of an existing roadway. It is a rule of general application that the location of an easement “may be changed with the express or implied consent of both parties, and an estoppel to claim a former location to be the true one arises from acquiescence in a change.””
