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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where goods are delivered to a person for sale and such person maintains a place of business at which he deals in goods of the kind involved, under a name other than the name of the person making delivery, then with respect to claims of creditors of the person conducting the business the goods are deemed to be on sale or return. The provisions of this subsection are applicable even though an agreement purports to reserve title to the person making delivery until payment or resale uses such words as “on consignment” or “on memorandum.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In Re Ronco, Inc.““The most that can be said is that the ‘labels’ were not applied. The parties did contest ownership; evidence was taken as to the relationship between the parties. Bralock introduced receipts showing that the tires were shipped for the purpose of ‘whitewalling.’ The factual situation was fully explored and to hold that because the term ‘bailment’ was not used below when the facts show a bailment, would be exalting form over substance.” ( 21 Ill. App. 3d 462, 467 , 315 N.E.2d 692, 696 .)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is (a) a “sale on approval” if the goods are delivered primarily for use, and (b) a “sale or return” if the goods are delivered primarily for resale.”
