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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where in a contract which provides for the performance of several acts of different degrees of importance, there is a stipulation that one designated sum shall be paid in case of a breach of the contract, and the actual damages for part or all of the breaches can be computed, and the sum designated would be excessive for any of the breaches, such sum will be regarded as a penalty and not as liquidated damages.” Lemberg v. Visnaw, 235 Mich. 333 .”
