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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]here there is evidence of fraudulent misrepresentations in the inception of a contract[,] such misrepresentations can be the basis for either an action to rescind or for damages, despite the limiting provisions of a contract.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"In the realm of fact it is entirely possible for a party knowingly to agree that no representations have been made to him, while at the same time believing and relying upon representations which in fact have been made and in fact are false but for which he would not have made the agreement. To deny this possibility is to ignore the frequent instances in everyday experience where parties accept, often without critical examination, and act upon agreements containing somewhere within their four corners exculpatory clauses in one form or another, but where they do so, nevertheless, in reliance upon the honesty of supposed friends, the plausible and disarming statements of salesmen, or the customary course of business. To refuse relief would result in a multitude of frauds and in thwarting the general policy of the law."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The same public policy that in general sanctions the avoidance of a promise obtained by deceit strike[s] down[] all attempts to circumvent that policy by means of contractual devices.”
