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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The rule of law is that a broker is entitled to his commission when the minds of the parties have met on every material particular of the transaction. Here, in this case, however, the minds of the parties in regard to the transaction have never met, because the validity of the contract was made dependent upon the condition that the defendants' attorney approve of the contract. The defendants' attorney never approved of the contract.”
