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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This breach of duty constituted, we think, a breach of the condition of the bond, since it amounted to cause for the revocation of his license under either or both § 224 (r) and § 224 (s) of the Real Estate Brokers subtitle of Art. 56 of the Code (1957), (Art. 56, §§ 231 (q) and 231 (r) of the 1951 Code as amended by Ch. 631 of the Acts of 1955). Section 224 (r) deals with non-disclosure of ‘any material fact, data, or information, concerning or relating to the property with which [a] * * * licensee is dealing.’ Section 224 (s) deals with ‘[a]ny act or conduct whether of the same or a different character than hereinabove specified which constitutes or demonstrates bad faith, incompetency or untrustworthiness, or dishonest, fraudulent, or improper dealings.’ ””
