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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A cause of action accrues when the breach occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party’s lack of knowledge of the breach. A breach of warranty occurs when tender of delivery is made, except that where a warranty explicitly extends to future performance of the goods and discovery of the breach must await the time of such performance the cause of action accrues when the breach is or should have been discovered.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where a dealer sells a machine or similar apparatus and the setting up or installation is but incidental to the sale ... the Sales Act applies; but where as here the contract is really a building or construction agreement and the furnishing of material and apparatus is merely an incident thereto, the Sales Act has no application.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In this division unless the context otherwise requires ‘contract’ and ‘agreement’ are limited to those relating to the present or future sale of goods.... A ‘sale’ consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer for a price (Section 2401).”
