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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is not enough to merely allege that a payment was obtained by duress. Facts must be set forth which, under the law, constitute duress, from which the court or jury may find that the release was not given voluntarily, and, also, so that the opposing party may be apprised of what facts the complaining party alleges occurred which constitute compulsion or duress.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The allegation that a specific amount was contributed does not make that amount liquidated. Partners must share in losses, and a loss in the enterprise might well render the amount due a partner less than the amount contributed.”
