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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“actionable fraud cannot be predicated upon a promise to do a thing in the future, although there may be no intention of fulfilling the promise.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“Fraud cannot be predicated upon acts which the party charged has a right by law to do nor upon the non-performance of acts which by law he is not bound to do, whatever may be his motive, design or purpose, either in doing or not doing the acts complained of.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““If the complaint can be upheld, it must be upon the theory that where a contract is entered into with the intention of not carrying it out, an action will lie in tort for fraud because of the intention not to carry out the contract, independent of and in addition to any action that may lie upon the contract or for its breach.””
