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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Contract” being assigned as the one dated September 9, 2005, between Kidwell and Am-eristructure for architectural services to be performed on the Project by Ameristructure for a fixed fee to be paid by Kidwell of $129,000.00, so it cannot be the General Contract, but the Subcontract.
