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.
““Whether plaintiffs so notified defendant (of a rescission), or not, under the circumstances here disclosed, does not defeat the action. The bringing of the suit within a few days after the payment of the money operated as notice to defendant of the refusal of the plaintiffs to go ahead with the deal under the new terms imposed and as a demand for the return of the money paid. The bringing of suit by plaintiffs to recover the consideration money paid was sufficient evidence of rescission on the part of plaintiffs.””
